Supreme Court of Delaware

Richardson v. State

May 31, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed Richardson’s appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because his notice of appeal was filed nearly two and a half years after the order and therefore was untimely. The court held that the asserted failure of appointed or prospective defense counsel to advise Richardson of the appeal deadline did not qualify for the exception applicable to failures attributable to court-related personnel.
