The opinion

Knutson, Justice

(dissenting).

I dissent. The only question before this court is whether the district court had jurisdiction to determine whether there had been a final determination of the matter by the commissioner of the Department of Corrections. It seems clear to me that the district court had jurisdiction to determine that fact issue and, if so, a writ of prohibition does not lie to enjoin him from proceeding therein. I see no necessity for a lengthy discussion of the question of res judicata until the district court has passed on the only issue involved, nor do I see any justification for a lengthy discussion of other issues not involved in the matter now before us. I think that the writ should be quashed.

Mr. Chief Justice Dell took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
