Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Sreedhar v. Northeast Division of the Housing Court Department

August 14, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Sreedhar's petition for relief in the nature of mandamus. It held that the petition did not show the absence of an adequate and effective alternative remedy because Sreedhar could seek the requested documents and appellate relief through motions in the Housing Court and the ordinary appellate process. The court also concluded that the procedural rule governing certain single-justice appeals did not apply to this postjudgment transcript-related matter.
