Lewis v. State of Delaware

Summary

The Court dismissed Lewis's appeal as untimely because he filed it more than thirty days after receiving notice of the order denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The court-related-error exception did not apply because, after receiving the relevant docket sheet, Lewis had sufficient notice and failed to file within thirty days. The Court also stated that, even if timely, the appeal would have been affirmed because Lewis lacked standing to seek postconviction relief after completing the sentence for the challenged conviction.
