KEVRON D. WALKER * SUPREME COURT

* OF MARYLAND

v.

* Pet. No. 141, September Term, 2022

STATE OF MARYLAND * No. 19, September Term, 2022 ORDER

In an earlier order, the Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted, dismissed the case, and directed that the mandate issue immediately. Both parties then requested that the mandate be withdrawn and sought additional relief. As additional relief, the State asked the Court to clarify its order and Mr. Walker, Petitioner, asked that the Court reconsider its decision in light of his Supplemental Reply Brief, which he filed contemporaneously with his motion. Upon consideration of the parties’ motions, the Court withdrew its mandate and vacated its earlier order but did not rule on the other relief requested by the parties.

Now, upon consideration of the briefs, the supplemental briefs, including Petitioner’s Supplemental Reply Brief, the circuit court’s written findings following an earlier remand, and the entire record as supplemented, it is this 30th day of May 2024, by the Supreme Court of Maryland, ORDERED that the writ of certiorari is dismissed as improvidently granted and No.

19, September Term, 2022 is closed in this Court, and it is further, ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration is granted to the extent that Petitioner requested that the Court provide him an opportunity to address the State’s

arguments in his Supplemental Reply Brief, as contemplated by the Court’s prior scheduling orders. The Court accepted the Supplemental Reply Brief and considered it along with all other materials submitted by the parties. Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration is otherwise denied; and it is further ORDERED that the State’s motion for clarification is granted to the extent of the clarification provided in this order; and it is further ORDERED that costs are to be paid by Petitioner and the mandate is to issue forthwith.
