Matter of Chrichlow

Summary

The Court dismissed Chrichlow’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Superior Court to grant him a new trial. It held that the Superior Court had not refused to perform a duty because it resolved the relevant robbery convictions by permitting the State to stipulate to reductions to aggravated menacing, and Chrichlow failed to show both a clear entitlement to mandamus relief and the absence of an adequate legal remedy.
