IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
DEREK L. HOPKINS, § § No. 184, 2025 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § Court Below–Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Cr. ID No. 2001012867 (K) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. §
Submitted: May 20, 2025 Decided: May 28, 2025
ORDER
On April 28, 2025, the appellant, Derek Hopkins, filed a notice of appeal from
the Superior Court’s order, dated and docketed March 18, 2025, denying his motion
for postconviction relief. A timely notice of appeal was due on or before April 17,
2025.1 The Senior Court Clerk issued, by certified mail, a notice directing Hopkins
to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed. Hopkins
received the notice, as evidenced by the return receipt filed with the Court on May
7, 2025. A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before May
19, 2025. To date, Hopkins has not responded to the notice to show cause. Dismissal
of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed.
1 See Del. Supr. Ct. R. 6. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the appeal is
DISMISSED under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b).
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr. Chief Justice
