State of New Hampshire v. Austin Groulx
Supreme Court accepted cases list
Issues on Appeal
The following summaries of the issues on appeal have been prepared by clerk’s office staff for the convenience of the public. The Supreme Court has neither approved nor reviewed any of the summaries. The parties’ filings and the applicable record — not these summaries — define and establish the issues that the Supreme Court will consider in a case. Please note that, in the interest of brevity, some issues in a listed case may have been combined or not summarized. In these summaries, “Rule Type” refers to the particular Supreme Court Rule under which the case has been docketed. “Type” and “Subtype” refer to the case type and case subtype, as determined in accordance with the definitions in the State Court Guide to Statistical Reporting, a publication of the Court Statistics Project (a joint project of the National Center for State Courts and the Conference of State Court Administrators).
The superior court transferred the following questions: If a juvenile delinquency petition is filed against a seventeen-year-old minor, may the circuit court extend jurisdiction over the minor based on RSA 169-B:4, where the State did not file a motion to extend jurisdiction prior to the juvenile’s eighteenth birthday and there was no final disposition of the case in the circuit court, or accepted transfer of the case to the superior court prior to the juvenile’s nineteenth birthday? If the circuit court did not have grounds to extend jurisdiction past the juvenile’s nineteenth birthday, can the case be transferred to the superior court or must the case be dismissed?
