Resper v. Dept. of Pub. Saf. & Corr. Servs.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Maryland granted the petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the Appellate Court’s administrative closure of the appeal, and remanded the case with instructions to vacate the circuit court’s order denying leave to appeal. The Court held that a circuit court lacks authority under Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud. Proc. §5-1005 to deny or strike an application for leave to appeal.
