Head Matter:
In the Matter of James Napoli, Jr., Appellant, v Justices of the Supreme Court of Kings County et al., Respondents.
Submitted October 17, 1977;
decided November 22, 1977

Opinion:
It cannot be determined on the indictments and the meager record now before the court whether the State prosecution is barred under CPL 40.20 (subd 2). (Cf. People v Abbamonte, 43 NY2d 74.) Accordingly, inasmuch as it does not appear that movant is clearly entitled to the extraordinary remedy of prohibition, denial thereof cannot be said to be error.
