Brown v. Circuit Court (Gibson) (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CasePetitioner was charged by an information with having committed three felony drug-related counts. Petitioner subsequently filed four pro se pleadings in those proceedings. Later, Petitioner filed a petition for writ of mandamus, seeking an order from the Supreme Court directing the circuit judge in his case to issue an order disposing of the pro se pleadings. The Court concluded that Petitioner simply wished some disposition of the pleadings and, more specifically, requested that a written order be entered on the record addressing the merits of his arguments concerning the court's assumption of jurisdiction in the criminal proceeding so he could seek interlocutory review. The Supreme Court denied the petition, as (1) Petitioner did not provide a record that demonstrated that issuance of the writ was appropriate; and (2) Petitioner did not establish that the trial court did not adequately dispose of the pleadings on the record or that the trial court had a duty to enter a written order that addressed the merits of his jurisdictional challenge.
