Kibler v. Phelps

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of Kibler’s mandamus petition because he had no clear legal right to parole, which the Board of Parole grants in its discretion, or to conditional release based on good-time credits for his pre-Truth-in-Sentencing Act life sentence. Because those conclusions resolved the appeal, the Court did not address whether the Superior Court erred by failing to order service of the petition.
