O R D E R
This 30th day of May 2002, upon consideration of the petition for a
writ of mandamus filed by Tyron R. Mifflin, and the answer and motion to
dismiss filed by the State of Delaware, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
Tyron R. Mifflin was arrested in October 1998 and indicted in
November 1998 for several drug offenses.  In October 1999, Mifflin
pleaded guilty, pursuant to Superior Court Criminal Rule 11(e)(1)(c), to
Trafficking in Cocaine.  The Superior Court sentenced Mifflin to 10 years
at Level V suspended after three years minimum mandatory for two years
at Level III and three years at Level II.*
(2)

compel the Superior Court to credit his sentence with 20 days that Mifflin

served in October 1998, prior to his release on bail.  Mifflin made a
similar request in a motion for modification of sentence that was filed in
the Superior Court on December 12, 2001.
(3)
By order dated April 12, 2002, the Superior Court acted upon
Mifflin’s motion for modification of sentence, modifying Mifflin’s
sentence to provide him with 20 days credit for time previously served in
October 1998.  In view of the Superior Court’s April 12 order, Mifflin’s
petition for a writ of mandamus is moot.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the petition for a writ
of mandamus is DISMISSED as moot.
