THADDEUS CASIMIR SHORTZ v. STATE OF MARYLAND


Circuit Court for Allegany County
Case No. 01-K-15-016875

UNREPORTED

Fader, C.J., Leahy, Friedman, JJ. Opinion by Friedman, J. *This is an unreported opinion, and it may not be cited in any paper, brief, motion, or other document filed in this Court or any other Maryland Court as either precedent within the rule of stare decisis or as persuasive authority. Md. Rule 1-104.

Thaddeus Casimir Shortz argues that he received an illegal sentence because, he alleges, there were defects in jury harkening and polling at his trial. This claim falls squarely under the rule of Colvin v. State, 450 Md. 718, 728 (2016), which held that allegations of such defects are not cognizable on a motion to correct illegal sentence. Shortz failed to mention Colvin in his opening brief. In his reply brief, Shortz failed to distinguish Colvin from his case. We therefore dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED; COSTS TO BE PAID BY APPELLANT.
