Supreme Court of Colorado November 12, 1985, No. 85SA40 (Pueblo County Commissioners v. District Court in and for the Tenth Judicial District)

ERICKSON, Justice.

This is an original proceeding to obtain a writ of prohibition. Petitioners seek an order prohibiting the respondent district court from exceeding its jurisdiction by determining the merits of counterclaims asserted in a dependency and neglect proceeding. We issued a rule to show cause why the counterclaims should not be dismissed. We now make the rule absolute.

I.
