IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF DWIGHT W. PERKINS FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS § § No. 419, 2005 § Submitted: September 26, 2005 Decided: November 9, 2005 Revised: December 28, 2005 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, JACOBS, Justices. ORDER This 28th day of December 2005, upon consideration of Dwight Perkins= petition for a writ of mandamus and the State=s answer and motion to dismiss, it appears to the Court that: (1) Perkins filed a petition requesting this Court to issue an extraordinary writ of mandamus directed to the Superior Court. Perkins asks that the Superior Court be directed to address three motions he filed pro se in a criminal proceeding pending before that court. (2) A review of the Superior Court docket in Perkins case reflects that the Superior Court denied all three of Perkins motions on October 18, 2005. Accordingly, Perkins petition for a writ of mandamus is moot. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Perkins petition for a writ of mandamus is DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Myron T. Steele Chief Justice
