c. Did the Superior Court usurp this Court's exclusive authority to create procedural rules under Article V, § 10(c) of the state constitution?

Justice TODD did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.

Justice McCAFFERY did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
