MADSEN, J. (dissenting) - The order entered in the matter of No. 25700-A-1426 is incorrect. A majority of the court (Justice Montoya-Lewis did not sit) voted for the following:

Whereas the Court at its May 2022 en banc conference discussed requests to delay the effective date of the proposed amended rules; it is hereby ordered:
(a) The effective date of the adopted amendments to GR 31 and CrR 2.1 is suspended pending further order of the court.
(b) The issue is referred to the Supreme Court Rules Committee to recommend next steps.
dated at Olympia, Washington this 6th day of May, 2022.
