Heading: Does the Administrative District Judge Have Authority to Promulgate Binding Guidelines Regulating Bail Agents?

Text: The appellant asks us to first decide whether the ADJ had authority to promulgate the Bail Bond Guidelines for the Fourth Judicial District. Appellant did not raise that issue below. In fact, when the ADJ asked Appellant's counsel whether it was his position that there should be no Bail Bond Guidelines, he responded, No, I'm not saying that at all. The longstanding rule of this Court is that we will not consider issues that are raised for the first time on appeal. Murray v. Spalding, 141 Idaho 99, 101, 106 P.3d 425, 427 (2005). We have made an exception for constitutional issues if their consideration is necessary for subsequent proceedings in the case. Id. That exception does not apply here. Therefore we will not consider this issue.
