Dixon v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed Dixon’s appeal from the dismissal of his third postconviction motion because the notice of appeal was filed after the jurisdictional deadline. Mailing the notice within the deadline did not make it effective because the Clerk’s Office had to receive it timely, and Dixon’s untimely motion for reargument did not toll the appeal period. The court also found no court-related personnel error that would permit an exception to the filing requirement.
