Supreme Court of Delaware

Gardner v. Division of Social Services & Uiab

October 10, 2016

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of Jacqueline Gardner’s motion to vacate the prior judgment denying her unemployment-benefits claim. The Court held that Gardner’s motion merely repeated claims she had raised or could have raised in the earlier proceedings and could not serve as a substitute for a timely appeal. The Court found no abuse of discretion in denying relief under Rule 60(b).
