    Supreme Court of Arizona, En Banc.
    Jan. 11, 1984.
    Brown & Bain, P.A. by Paul F. Eckstein, David J. Bodney, Phoenix, for petitioners.
    Thomas E. Collins, Maricopa County Atty. by Joseph L. Brownlee and Michael D. Jones, Sp. Deputy County Attys., Lewis & Roca by: Paul G. Ulrich, Phoenix, for respondents.
   HOLOHAN, Chief Justice.

This petition for special action challenges the same two orders addressed by this court in the companion case of KPNX v. Superior Court, 139 Ariz. 246, 678 P.2d 431 (1984). The facts of this case are nearly identical to those in KPNX, and we need not repeat them. For the same reasons set forth in KPNX, we grant the relief requested as to the November 30 sketch order and vacate that order. We deny the relief requested as to the December 6 media liaison order.

GORDON, V.C.J., and HAYS, J., concur.

FELDMAN, Justice,

concurring in part, dissenting in part.

The views expressed in my concurrence and dissent in KPNX v. Superior Court, 139 Ariz. 246, 678 P.2d 431 (Feldman, J., concurring in part, dissenting in part) are also applicable to this case. For the reasons I stated in KPNX, I agree that the sketch order should be vacated, but I disagree with the holding of the court that the media liaison order is constitutional.

Justice James Duke CAMERON did not participate in the determination of this matter.
