The Michigan Court of Appeals denied a motion filed by Bob Bashara's attorney David Griem.
The motion for superintending control was filed by Robert Bashara's attorney David Griem on June 27, according to a release from the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
The motion was placed under seal by the court and the parties are precluded from discussing the substance of the motion, according to the release from Maria Miller, spokeswoman for the office.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Griem had asked the Michigan Court of Appeals to stop the prosecutors' use of investigative subpoenas.

The story should tell the reader what a "motion for superintending control" is. Adding that piece of information takes a little research but gives the reader a better understanding of the case and, by extension, of the criminal justice system and its workings. Without it, the story adds little to the ongoing story.

Thanks Suzanne, and sorry we did not include the definition of the motion for superintending control, which essentially is asking a higher court to force a lower court to do something.
