- Amended petition - Appeal of order.

Within four (4) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays,

following the initial filing of any petition calling for the

impaneling of a grand jury, the presiding district judge shall enter

an order stating whether the face of the petition contains a

reasonably specific identification of areas to be inquired into and

sufficient general allegations to warrant a finding that such

inquiry may lead to information which, if true, would warrant a true

bill of indictment or action for removal. An order determining such

petition to be deficient shall quash said petition, and shall set

forth clearly in writing each and every deficiency found by said

judge. Petitioners shall have two (2) days to amend the petition to

conform to the district judge's order. Upon the filing of said

amended petition, the district judge shall enter an order within two

(2) days stating whether the face of the amended petition contains

the requirements set forth in this section. Any such order quashing

an amended petition shall be appealable when entered. An order

determining such petition or amended petition to be sufficient shall

not be appealable.
