View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Because Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 45(b)(2) expressly provided that the trial court could not extend the time for taking an action under Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61(i)(1), the doctrine of equitable tolling did not apply; consequently, defendant's postconviction motion was properly denied as untimely.

|||||
Overview: Because defendant did not raise any issues for consideration, because defendant's counsel made a conscientious effort to examine the record and the law and properly determined that defendant could not raise a meritorious claim on appeal, pursuant to Del.

|||||
Overview: Although Del. Sup. Ct. R. 26 did not explicitly impose a continuing obligation on court-appointed counsel in violation of probation proceedings to represent defendant on appeal, counsel had an ethical duty to inform him of the right to appeal; therefore, counsel's failure to so inform him was grounds for granting defendant's motion for reargument.
