Schoenhorn v. Moss

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of a mandamus action seeking transcripts sealed in a separate family proceeding. It held that the action was a nonjusticiable collateral attack because the court hearing the mandamus case lacked continuing jurisdiction over the underlying matter and could not grant practical relief. The court also held that mandamus cannot create jurisdiction and that alleged procedural violations in issuing the sealing order did not make that order void from inception.
