The vote was 3-2, Justices Starcher and Albright would grant the motion.

Thereafter, as is usual in these types of cases, the Court will take up the petition at a regularly scheduled Miscellaneous Motion conference on May 23rd, 2007. At that time, the Court will decide whether to issue a Rule to Show Cause, meaning that the Court would hear oral argument, or whether to refuse the petition.
