Mandamus • Exercise of Prosecutorial Discretion

Seeton v. Adams, PICS Case No. 12-1495 (Pa. Commw. en banc Aug. 9, 2012) Leavitt, J.; McGinley, J., dissenting (25 pages).

The trial court correctly dismissed appellant’s mandamus action seeking to compel the district attorney to prosecute a township sportsmen’s association for conducting a live pigeon shoot because it sought to undo the district attorney’s decision to withdraw the criminal citations issued by appellant.
