Leonard B. JENKINS, et al., Plaintiffs Below, Appellants, v. Thomas GULLEDGE, Defendant Below, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Delaware.

Decided July 19, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leonard B. Jenkins, pro se, for plaintiffs below appellants.

John J. Polk, Deputy Atty. Gen., Wilmington, for defendant below appellee.

Before QUILLEN, HORSEY and MOORE, JJ.

MOORE, Justice:

This mandamus action was filed by three prison inmates in the custody of the Department of Correction, seeking access to their central files maintained by the Department. They based this alleged right on the Delaware Freedom of Information Act (29 Del.C. § 10001-10005). The Superior Court held that Delaware law prohibits such access and denied the relief sought. We agree and affirm.
