Supreme Court of Delaware

Valerie I. Anderson, Respondent Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Petitioner Below, Appellee

May 24, 20112011 Del. LEXIS 271

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's reinstatement of the judgment declaring Anderson an habitual driving offender. The court held that the State's charging and continuance decisions were exercises of prosecutorial discretion, that Anderson identified no equal-protection or due-process violation, and that the Court of Common Pleas lacked a legal basis to dismiss the otherwise valid petition. The court also held that neither Rules 60(b)(3), 60(b)(6), nor Rule 11 authorized vacating the judgment on the facts presented.
