IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE 
 
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION 
§ 
OF BILLY G. JOHNSON 
 
 
§   No. 615, 2011 
FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Submitted: November 23, 2011

Before BERGER, JACOBS, and RIDGELY Justices. 
 
 
O R D E R 
 
This 29th day of November 2011, upon consideration of Billy Johnson’s petition 
for a writ of mandamus, as well as the State=s answer and motion to dismiss, it appears 
to the Court that Johnson filed this petition requesting that the Superior Court be 
directed to rule on a motion for postconviction relief, which he filed on August 16, 
2011.  A review of the Superior Court docket in Johnson’s case reflects that the 
Superior Court denied Johnson’s motion on November 8, 2011.  Accordingly, 
Johnson’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.
