Supreme Court of Delaware

Yoon v. State

November 6, 2017

Summary

The Court dismissed Yoon’s appeal from the denial of postconviction relief and withdrawal of his guilty plea because the notice of appeal was filed well after the jurisdictional deadline. The Court held that neither Yoon’s untimely response to the show-cause notice nor his asserted mental illness and prison lockdown excused the failure to file a timely appeal because he did not attribute the delay to court-related personnel.
