Supreme Court of Delaware

Matter of Law

March 13, 2017

Summary

The Court denied Darrell Law’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Superior Court to hold a hearing on, grant, or otherwise reconsider his habeas corpus petition. The Court held that Law showed neither an arbitrary failure or refusal by the Superior Court to perform a duty nor entitlement to habeas relief, and that mandamus could not be used to appeal the denial of habeas relief.
