Supreme Court of Delaware

Dupree v. State

July 14, 2014

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed Dupree's appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because his notice of appeal was filed after the jurisdictional thirty-day deadline. The court held that his hospitalization, delayed access to legal materials, and delayed access to the prison law library did not qualify for the limited exception applicable when untimeliness is attributable to court-related personnel.
