State v. Tucker

Standard of Review

Pursuant to article V, section 4.1 of the Missouri Constitution, this Court has the authority to "issue and determine original remedial writs," including the extraordinary writ of mandamus. See State ex rel. Hewitt v. Kerr , 461 S.W.3d 798, 805 (Mo. banc 2015). A relator must demonstrate "a clear, unequivocal, specific right to a thing claimed." Id. This Court, however, will not issue a remedial writ "in any case wherein adequate relief can be afforded by an appeal." Rule 84.22(a).
