Opinion
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF BERNARD WOODS FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI.
Supreme Court of Delaware.
Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND and RIDGELY, Justices.
ORDER
MYRON T. STEELE, Chief Justice.
This 28th day of May 2010, the Court has considered the petition for a writ of certiorari filed by the petitioner, Bernard Woods, and the answer and motion to dismiss filed by the State of Delaware. The petition for a writ of certiorari is lacking in any averments to invoke the original jurisdiction of this Court.[1] The petition appears to reargue this Court's Order of April 26, 2010 that affirmed the Superior Court's denial of the petitioner's motion for postconviction relief.[2] A petitioner who has an adequate remedy in the appellate process[3] may not use an extraordinary writ as a substitute for appellate review.[4]
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the petition for a writ of certiorari is DISMISSED.
