Description
HORSEY, Justice: This appeal raises the question of a trial court's authority under Superior Court Criminal Rule 48(b) to dismiss a criminal
information on a finding of "unnecessary delay" solely attributable to the lack of an available trial Judge and not to prosecutorial
delay. The State appeals Superior Court's dismissal under Rule 48(b) of a criminal information charging the defendant with
driving under the influence ("DUI") in violation of 21 Del.C. § 4177. We find the court's dismissal to be beyond
Rule 48's scope and purpose. Hence, we reverse for error of law.
