Flowers v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal from an order of the trying court dismissing without prejudice Appellant’s petition for writ of mandamus as moot, holding that the order dismissing the petition was not a final, appealable order denying relief.
In 2016, Appellant filed the petition for writ of mandamus seeking order directing the prosecuting attorney to comply with a request Appellant had made under the Freedom of Information Act for access to evidence and documents related to the criminal investigation that led to his conviction in his criminal case. The Supreme Court held that Appellant had no right to appeal the dismissal of his petition because the appeal was not one directly arising from his conviction.
