Edward R. Soriano v. Commonwealth & Another.

Summary

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the county court’s dismissal of the defendant’s petition for extraordinary relief under G.L.c. 211, §3, finding the petition moot because his probation had been terminated and that any competency issue could be addressed through the ordinary appellate process. The court held that the defendant failed to show that review could not be obtained elsewhere, so no error was made.
