Re: State of Delaware v. Bernard Woods Case ID: 0708031045

Mr. Woods:

On July 25, 2019, the Court received the State’s Response opposing your Motion for Reduction of Sentence and Request for Compassionate Conditional Release.'! You filed a Reply on September 3, 2019, asking this Court to modify your Level IV probation from Work Release to Home Confinement.”

It is my understanding that Governor Carney commuted your sentence on April 8, 2019° and imposed a transitional Level IV Work Release probationary period. Since you are currently on Level III probation, any decision this Court makes regarding your Level IV placement will have no effect. Therefore, the motion is MOOT and the Court takes no further action on this motion.

' State’s Response to Motion for Reduction of Sentence, State of Delaware v. Bernard Woods, Crim. ID No. 0708031045, D.I. 115 July 25, 2019).

? Letter from Bernard Woods, State of Delaware v. Bernard Woods, Crim. ID No. 0708031045, D.I. 116 (Sept. 03, 2019).

? Commutation of Sentence Order by Governor John C. Carney, State of Delaware v. Bernard Woods, Crim. ID No. 0708031045, D.I. 111 (Apr. 08, 2019). The Court wishes you luck with the remainder of your probation.

Sincerely,

Tudge Vivian L. Medifilla
