Dunahue v. Dennis

Summary

The court treated Dunahue’s intervention request as a petition for a writ of mandamus and granted relief requiring the circuit judge to act on his outstanding habeas-corpus petition. The requests to compel filing of pleadings and action on a mandamus petition were dismissed as moot because those matters had already been addressed. The court also adopted a special master’s recommendation requiring correction of the inmate-filing policy and statewide training for circuit clerks.
