Supreme Court of Delaware

In the Matter of the Petition of James L. Martin for Writs of Mandamus and Prohibition

May 17, 2022

Summary

The Court dismissed Martin’s petition for writs of mandamus and prohibition. The mandamus request was moot because the Superior Court had already ruled on the post-trial motions, and any remaining request to control the Superior Court’s docket was improper. The prohibition request failed because Martin did not identify a jurisdictional defect and could pursue his challenges through a direct appeal.
