    Petitioner, a parolee serving time in a correctional facility, was not entitled to the relief sought in his mandamus petition, i.e., immediate release from prison, where the record clearly established that there were two outstanding detainers to which the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole properly paroled him. The appellate court denied petitioner's application for mandamus relief.

    Petitioner failed to demonstrate that employer's work rules were not uniformly enforced where both he and co-worker used "profane" and "abusive" language but only he was fired, as the record demonstrated that the conduct at issue was not the same and that petitioner's offensive conduct was more significant. The appellate court affirmed.
