     IN THE 
 
     SUPREME COURT

     Pet. No. 141, September Term, 2022 
     No. 19, September Term, 2022  
ORDER 
 
In an earlier order, the Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently 
granted, dismissed the case, and directed that the mandate issue immediately.  Both parties 
then requested that the mandate be withdrawn and sought additional relief.  As additional 
relief, the State asked the Court to clarify its order and Mr. Walker, Petitioner, asked that 
the Court reconsider its decision in light of his Supplemental Reply Brief, which he filed 
contemporaneously with his motion. Upon consideration of the parties’ motions, the Court 
withdrew its mandate and vacated its earlier order but did not rule on the other relief 
requested by the parties. 
Now, upon consideration of the briefs, the supplemental briefs, including 
Petitioner’s Supplemental Reply Brief, the circuit court’s written findings following an 
earlier remand, and the entire record as supplemented, it is this 30th day of May 2024, by 
the Supreme Court of Maryland, 
ORDERED that the writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted and No. 
19, September Term, 2022 is closed in this Court, and it is further,   
ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration is granted to the extent that 
Petitioner requested that the Court provide him an opportunity to address the State’s 
2 
 
arguments in his Supplemental Reply Brief, as contemplated by the Court’s prior 
scheduling orders.  The Court accepted the Supplemental Reply Brief and considered it 
along with all other materials submitted by the parties.  Petitioner’s motion for 
reconsideration is otherwise denied; and it is further 
ORDERED that the State’s motion for clarification is granted to the extent of the 
clarification provided in this order; and it is further 
ORDERED that costs are to be paid by Petitioner and the mandate is to issue 
forthwith.
