As I stated in this section's introduction page, the genus Canis itself is a rather recent development. Some species of this genus, such as the modern grey wolf, have only come about in the past one million years. Other canids, such as foxes, are older by comparison. The grey fox, Urocyon cinereogenteus is widely considered to be the most primitive canid alive today.
Court order. A court order is an official proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that defines the legal relationships between the parties to a hearing, a trial, an appeal or other court proceedings. Such ruling requires or authorizes the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case.
A court order is a document signed by a judge mandating that an entity do as the judge orders. If an entity opposes release of data pursuant to a court order, entity staff should consult legal counsel and look to Minnesota Statutes, section 13.03, subdivision 6.t. App. 1985) (a subpoena is not the equivalent of a court order required to access private personnel data under Minnesota Statutes, section 13.43 .) A subpoena often comes from an attorney who represents a party to litigation in which the government entity is not directly involved.
