ORDER
Original jurisdiction is assumed. A writ is hereby issued, prohibiting Judge Bernard Jones, or the judge assigned to Kunzweiler v. Oklahoma State Election Board, et al., Oklahoma County District Court Case No. CV-2014-1055, from proceeding further with this cause.

The term of the new district attorney of Tulsa County will begin on January 5, 2015, 51 0.8. § 1.
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT THIS 25TH DAY OF JULY, 2014.
