State ex rel. Turner v. Corrigan
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of robbery and sentenced to five years in prison and three years of postrelease control (“Sentencing Order 1”). The court of appeals vacated Sentencing Order 1 and remanded the cause for resentencing because, at the sentencing hearing, the trial court had failed to advise Defendant about the particulars of post release control. Upon resentencing, the trial court amended its sentencing entry (Sentencing Order 2), but the court of appeals remanded the case with instructions to clarify Sentencing Order 2. In response to the remand order, the trial court issued Sentencing Order 3. The court of appeals dismissed Defendant’s appeal for failure to file a transcript of the resentencing hearing. Defendant sought discretionary review in the Supreme Court, but his appeal was not accepted. Defendant later filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking a writ compelling the trial judge to repentance him de novo, which he claimed was required by the appellate court’s decision in his appeal from Sentencing Order 1. The court of appeals granted summary judgment in favor of the trial judge. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court of appeals correctly declined to issue a writ of mandamus on the grounds that Defendant had an adequate remedy at law.
