O R D E R 
 
 
This 13th day of July 2009, upon consideration of the petition of 
Ahmed Ifill for an extraordinary writ of prohibition and/or mandamus, it 
appears to the Court that:  
(1) 
The petitioner, Ahmed Ifill, seeks to invoke the original 
jurisdiction of this Court to issue an extraordinary writ to compel the 
Superior Court to rule on his motion to dismiss his trial counsel and to delay 
his trial until it has ruled on his motion.  The State of Delaware has filed a 
response and motion to dismiss Ifill’s petition.  
(2) 
The Superior Court docket reflects that a jury trial was held in 
the Superior Court on June 4-5. Ifill is scheduled to be sentenced on July 17, 
2009.  His request to delay his trial until the Superior Court rules on a 
motion to dismiss counsel, therefore, is moot.  
 
- 2 - 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Ifill’s petition for a writ 
of prohibition and/or mandamus is DISMISSED as moot.
