Opinion
C. A. No. 07A-02-001 THG.
March 24, 2008.
Christine Paoli, Rehoboth Beach, DE.
Dean Campbell, Esquire, Law Office of Dean A. Campbell, LLC, Georgetown, DE.
Dear Ms. Paoli and Mr. Campbell:
On January 29, 2008, this Court entered its decision affirming the decision of the Court of Common Pleas.
On February 22, 2008, Ms. Paoli filed a "Motion for Reconsideration/Reargument". On March 6, 2008, Mr. Campbell filed a response to the Motion noting it is untimely pursuant to Superior Court Civil Rule 59(e). The five (5) days permitted under Rule 59(e) may not be enlarged. See Superior Court Civil Rule 6(b).
Ms. Paoli's failure to abide by the Court's rules requires the denial of her untimely motion. While I am sure Ms. Paoli would like to continue this case on to the Supreme Court and is free to do so, it appears it may be futile because the untimely filing under Rule 59(e) does not toll the 30-day appeal time to the Supreme Court.
Finally, Ms. Paoli has once again filed a sealed envelope with the Court, basically saying confidential for the Judge only. I have not and shall not open it and Ms. Paoli is free to retrieve it.
Ms. Paoli's Motion to Reconsider or Reargue is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
