The Honorable Melinda MONNET, District Judge, Seventh Judicial District, State of Oklahoma, Petitioner, v. The Honorable Leamon FREEMAN, Presiding Judge, Seventh Judicial District, State of Oklahoma, Respondent.
    No. 78274.
    Supreme Court of Oklahoma.
    Sept. 19, 1991.
    As Corrected Dec. 19, 1991.
   ORDER DENYING RELIEF

The court treats the paperwork on file both as an application to invoke its original jurisdiction under Art. 7, § 4, Okl. Const., and as the petitioner’s quest for this court’s administrative review — in the exercise of powers conferred upon it by Art. 7, § 6, Okl. Const. — of petitioner’s assignment by the respondent to the probate division of the District Court, Oklahoma County.

On consideration of the paperwork laid before it, the court denies the relief sought. Art. 7, § 10(b), Okl. Const.; 20 O.S.1981 § 23, subdiv. (2); Rule 2, Rules on Administration of Courts, 20 O.S. 1981, Ch. 1, App. 2; Graham v. Cannon, Okl., 574 P.2d 305, 309 [1978],

OPALA, C.J., HODGES, Y.C.J., and SIMMS, HARGRAVE and ALMA WILSON, JJ., concur.

KAUGER and SUMMERS, JJ., concur in result.

LAVENDER and DOOLIN, JJ., dissent.

SUMMERS, Justice

with whom KAUGER, Justice joins, concurring in result.

I would assume original jurisdiction and deny Petitioner the relief sought based upon the authorities as cited by the majority in its Order. That having been done I would view as unnecessary any action of an administrative nature.
