Woodward v. Department of Corrections, Del.Super., 415 A.2d 782 (1980). We agree with the Superior Court’s conclusion ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‍that the mandatory minimum sentencing provision of the robbery in the first degree statute, 11 Dei.C. § 832(c), “does expressly ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‍limit the availability of ‘parole’ and thereby expressly limits the operation of 11 Del.C. 4346(a)” insofar as merit and ‍‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‍good time behavior credits for parole eligibility are concerned.

Affirmed.
