DeLay Gets Court to Halt, Void Subpoenas

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060314/ap_on_go_co/delay_indictment

WASHINGTON - A Texas appeals court Monday granted Rep. Tom DeLay's request to stop a prosecutor from filing subpoenas in the former majority leader's pending money laundering case.

The Third Court of Appeals panel in Austin, Texas, also said that several subpoenas issued by Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle are null and void because DeLay's trial is on hold.

In addition, any outstanding subpoenas issued before the trial was put on hold are suspended during the stay, the court said.
