Supreme Court of Delaware

IMO Grayson

May 22, 2020

Summary

The Court dismissed the petition for a writ of mandamus because Grayson did not show a clear right to have the Superior Court review his postconviction motion, lacked an adequate basis for bypassing the appellate process, and could not establish arbitrary refusal to act. His discharge from probation meant he was no longer subject to custody on the relevant convictions and therefore lacked standing to pursue relief under Rule 61. The Court also noted that he did not appeal the denial of the postconviction motion filed on his behalf.
