Jeffrey Revaleon vs. Commonwealth.
    August 30, 2001.
    
      Supreme Judicial Court,
    
    Appeal from order of single justice.
    Jeffrey Revaleon (petitioner) appeals under S.J.C. Rule 2:21, 421 Mass. 1303 (1995), from the denial, by a single justice of this court, of a request for relief under G. L. c. 211, § 3. The petitioner had requested “that this court overrule and set aside the detention order issued below and readmit [him] to bail.”
    
      Willie J. Davis for the petitioner.
   The Superior Court judge, acting in response to the Commonwealth’s motion, concluded that no conditions of release would reasonably assure the safety of the alleged victim or of the community, and ordered that the petitioner be held under the provisions of G. L. c. 278, § 58A. That order is interlocutory for purposes of determining the applicability of rule 2:21 (1). The petitioner, however, has not met his burden under rule 2:21 (2). The petitioner sets out, in his memorandum filed under the rule, an argument concerning the standard of review and the judge’s alleged error. Yet, the petitioner has not, as rule 2:21 (2) requires, “set forth the reasons why review of the trial court decision cannot adequately be obtained on appeal from any final adverse judgment in the trial court or by other available means.” See Pignone v. Commonwealth, 434 Mass. 1008 (2001).

Judgment affirmed.

The case was submitted on the papers filed, accompanied by a memorandum of law.
