Supreme Court of Delaware

In the Matter of Brent Harris

April 3, 2020

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court dismissed Brent Harris's petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel production of another person's case files in connection with his postconviction proceeding. The Court held that the discovery denial was an interlocutory order that could not be reviewed through mandamus and that Harris had an adequate remedy through an appeal from any final postconviction judgment. The Court therefore granted the State's motion to dismiss.
