Court of Appeals of MarylandDisposition: Vacated✓ Good law
SummaryThis is a per curiam order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, not a full opinion. The Court granted Joseph Russell Gear's petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals, and remanded the case to that Court for further consideration in light of State of Maryland v. Jeriko Graves, ____ Md. ____, ____ A.3d ____ (No. 57, September Term, 2015, filed April 22, 2016). The order does not recite the underlying facts, the legal questions presented, or any reasoning. It simply applies the recent Graves decision as intervening authority and directs the intermediate appellate court to reconsider its judgment. Costs in both appellate courts were assessed against the Respondent, the State of Maryland. Because the text contains only a dispositional order and no substantive analysis, no holdings, facts, or doctrinal statements can be extracted.
