Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Coon v. Commonwealth

July 10, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Coon's petition for extraordinary relief because the denial of his criminal motion to dismiss could be adequately reviewed after a final adverse judgment. The court held that extraordinary relief could not be used to obtain interlocutory review where the single justice neither reached the merits nor reported the matter to the full court. The petitioner's motion to expedite was moot because the underlying District Court hearing had already occurred.
