View this case - free  

Overview: Because Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 45(b)(2) expressly provided that the court could not extend the time for taking any action under Del. Super. Ct. R. Crim. P. 61(i)(1), the court did not have the authority to grant defendant's request to increase the one year time-limit for filing a Rule 61 motion for postconviction relief.
