Background
Corenic Construction Group, LLC and Single Point Construction, LLC were parties to a case originating in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, Case No. CAL19-00541. The Supreme Court of Maryland granted review in No. 10, September Term, 2026.
The per curiam order does not describe the underlying construction dispute or the issues presented for review. After receiving briefs and hearing oral argument, the Court reconsidered whether review should proceed.
The Court’s Holding
The Supreme Court of Maryland dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted. It closed No. 10, September Term, 2026 in the Court.
The order did not resolve the merits of any underlying claim or identify a substantive legal rule. It directed that costs be paid by Corenic, the petitioner.
Key Takeaways
- A dismissal as improvidently granted ends the Supreme Court’s review without a merits decision.
- The order leaves no substantive Supreme Court holding on the parties’ dispute.
- Costs were assessed against petitioner Corenic Construction Group, LLC.
Why It Matters
The order illustrates that the Supreme Court of Maryland may dismiss a previously granted certiorari petition after briefing and argument. Because the dismissal is procedural, attorneys should not treat it as authority on the merits of the underlying construction dispute.
