O R D E R 
This 24th day of August 2005, the Court has considered the opening brief 
and the State’s motion to affirm. It is manifest that the judgment of the Superior 
Court, which denied Shockley’s petition for a writ of mandamus to recalculate his 
release date, must be affirmed on the basis of this Court’s decision in Evans v. 
State, 872 A.2d 539 (Del. 2005).  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
