Supreme Court of Delaware

Burris v. State

June 23, 2021

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of William Burris's motion to correct his sentence. It held that a challenge to the Department of Correction's calculation or application of good-time credit must be brought through a petition for a writ of mandamus rather than a motion under Rule 35(a), and noted that Burris had previously litigated the same claim through mandamus.
