Kostyshyn v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed Kostyshyn’s appeal because he failed to comply with repeated directives to submit a conforming in forma pauperis motion or pay the filing fee. The Court held that supplying information necessary to determine pauper status is the litigant’s responsibility and noted that Kostyshyn had exceeded the statutory three-strikes limit for in forma pauperis filings. The Court directed that future civil appeals or writs must be accompanied by the required fee unless exempted under the statute.
