IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DANIEL PASKINS, Defendant BelowAppellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff BelowAppellee. § § § § § § § § § § § No. 476, 2002 Court Below Superior Court of the State of Delaware, in and for Sussex County Cr.A. Nos. S93-12-0531 thru -0535 Cr. ID 9312006327 Submitted: August 15, 2002 Decided: August 28, 2002 Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH, and HOLLAND, Justices. ORDER This 28th day of August 2002, it appears to the Court that: (1) The appellant, Daniel Paskins, filed this appeal from the Superior Court s denial of his eighth petition for postconviction relief. In 1998, this Court denied Paskins fifth petition for postconviction relief and directed the Clerk of this Court not to docket any further appeals from Paskins relating to these criminal action numbers, absent a specific order of the Court permitting Paskins to appeal.1 1 Paskins v. State, No. 527, 1997, Walsh, J. (Jan. 6, 1998). (2) Paskins notice of appeal in this case was docketed in error without prior approval of the Court. Having reviewed the notice of appeal and the Superior Court order denying Paskins eighth motion for postconviction relief, it is manifest to this Court that the claims raised in Paskins eighth petition are repetitive and time-barred. As we previously noted, further review of Paskins repetitive claims is a waste of this Court s time and resources. In the exercise of its discretion, the Court has concluded that Paskins appeal must be dismissed and that the giving of prior notice would serve no meaningful purpose and any response would be of no avail.2 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the within appeal hereby is DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: s/Joseph T. Walsh Justice 2 DEL. SUPR. CT. R. 29(c). 2
