DuPont v. Superior Court

DuPont appeals from the denial by a single justice of this court of relief in the nature of mandamus under G. L. c. 211, § 3 (1986 ed.).

After a trial in Superior Court, a jury found DuPont guilty of armed robbery, armed assault with intent to rob, and unlawful carrying of a firearm. He was sentenced to M.C.I., Cedar Junction, for a term of 30 to 40 years on the armed robbery conviction, and a concurrent term of 3 to 5 years on the firearm conviction. Over DuPont’s objection, the trial judge declined to impose sentence immediately on the armed assault charge, but placed that indictment on file.
