Court of Appeals of MarylandDisposition: VacatedBarbera, C.J. (per curiam order)✓ Good law
SummaryThis is a per curiam order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, not a full opinion. The Court granted certiorari in the case of State v. Anthony Thomas Bookman, No. 117, September Term, 2013. Without hearing argument or issuing a substantive opinion, the Court vacated the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals and remanded the case to that court for further consideration in light of four recently decided cases: Nalls v. State, 437 Md. 674, 89 A.3d 1126 (2014); Melvin v. State, 437 Md. 674, 89 A.3d 1126 (2014); Szwed v. State, 438 Md. 1, 89 A.3d 1143 (2014); and Morgan v. State, 438 Md. 11, 89 A.3d 1149 (2014). The order does not state the legal questions presented, the facts of the case, the reasoning of the Court of Special Appeals, or any holding of the Court of Appeals. It simply directs the intermediate appellate court to reconsider its prior decision in light of the new precedent.
