Wenzke v. Metzger

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the dismissal of Wenzke’s medical-malpractice complaint for failure to pay a $3.11 filing fee. The court held that the dismissal order was based in part on the Superior Court’s mistaken belief that Wenzke had submitted no correspondence, even though he had timely informed the court that he lacked funds and had provided his inmate-account statement.
