Supreme Court of Delaware

Piper v. State

August 13, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware reversed the Superior Court’s dismissal of Piper’s appeals from violation-of-probation sentences as untimely. Because the Superior Court received Piper’s notice of appeal on December 22, 2023, within fifteen days of the December 13 sentences, the appeals were timely despite being mistakenly docketed in other pending cases. The matter was remanded for the Superior Court to consider the appeals.
