Supreme Court of Delaware

Israel v. State

August 5, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed the appeal from the denial of a third postconviction-relief motion because the notice of appeal was received more than thirty days after the order was docketed. The court held that the appellant's receipt of the order, and the provision allowing three additional days for service by mail, did not extend the jurisdictional appeal deadline. The court also found no evidence that court personnel caused the delay.
