Supreme Court of Delaware

Samans v. Department of Correction

March 27, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Samans’s petition for a writ of mandamus. It held that Samans had no clear legal right to a particular prison classification and had not shown that the Department of Correction arbitrarily refused to perform a nondiscretionary duty. The court therefore upheld dismissal of the petition as legally frivolous.
