Brown v. Mendes

Summary

The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the single justice’s denial of Sharyon Brown’s petition under G.L.c.211 §3, holding that the order denying her §118 interlocutory relief petition is final and unappealable and that the petition cannot be used to obtain relief from the underlying temporary custody order. The court found Brown had not shown that appellate review was unavailable elsewhere, so the denial was proper.
