In the Matter of the Petition of Diamonte Taylor for a Writ of Mandamus

Summary

The Court dismissed Taylor’s mandamus petition because it sought review of an interlocutory order denying suppression in a criminal case, a type of review unavailable under the Delaware Constitution and not obtainable through mandamus. Taylor also had an adequate remedy through direct appeal after trial and did not establish an arbitrary refusal by the Superior Court to perform a duty. The Court expressly declined to decide the merits of the suppression ruling or the constitutional issues concerning the second search warrant.
