Supreme Court of Delaware

Hickernell v. State

March 8, 2010991 A.2d 18

Summary

The Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the summary denial of Hickernell's postconviction motion as untimely. Because the motion was filed nearly three years after his guilty plea and sentencing, the court held that the one-year time bar applied without an exception, including the alleged constitutional violation concerning counsel's failure to pursue an appeal.
