How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• suggesting that District Attorney’s Offices be required to move to dismiss any appeal that has been inactive for a year
• noting that petitioner had served only a short portion of a relatively long sentence
• rejecting notion that delay of direct appeal of a conviction exceeding one half of petitioner’s sentence automatically amounts to a denial of due process
• encouraging District Attorney’s Offices to make use of the dismissal calendar
• delay compounded by “inability of the Appellate Division to keep track of its unperfected appeals”
• both cases waiving exhaustion requirement and hearing petitioners' appellate delay claims on the merits, even though both appeals were sub judice
