The Superior Court of Pennsylvania filed an order today directing compliance with Pa.R.A.P. 3517, in regards to Harlow Cuadra's appeal:
Docketing Statement Due 05/28/09. Failure to file docketing statement by that date will lead to an order dimissing the appeal.
As usual, Harlow's attorney(s) will probably wait until the last possible second. Being that they have that hearing to withdraw on Friday, I'm sure that will decide the outcome.

Wasn't this statement supposed to be filed within ten days from the filing of the consise statement of matters to be complained about on appeal that went in on the 1st of May?
ReplyDeleteI quess that the furor over the attorney to pursue the appeal allowed the extension to the 28th, unless I have misunderstood the proceedure, or did it take two weeks to review the statement?

Actually, it was supposed to be filed by April 27, 2009, so they're more than a little late. :)
Wow!!
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of attorney incompetence and/or misfeasance in this case -- at least more than I'm used to seeing in an important case. Cuadra's current attorneys have some responsibilities -- money or not, as I see it -- until they're dismissed by the judge.
ReplyDeleteLooking back I can think of three other outstanding examples: the Fannick affair, Menn's attempt to bail with the trial just around the corner, and the DA's failure to provide the same discovery materials to Cuadra's public defenders that were supplied to Kerekes' attorneys.
There were no doubt others that I don't remember right now.
This is a criminal docketing statement not a concise statement. They are two different documents. The criminal docketing statement is filed directly with the Superior Court of Pa. The concise statement is filed with the trial judge who will then do an opinion then briefs with the Superior Court then a decision. Don't expect anything for about a year.
