Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gill Cochran (Elizabeth M. Eckhardt, on brief), Annapolis, for petitioner.

Ann N. Bosse, Asst. Atty. Gen. (J. Joseph Curran, Jr., Atty. Gen., on brief), Baltimore, for respondent.

Argued before ELDRIDGE, RODOWSKY, CHASANOW, KARWACKI, BELL and RAKER, JJ., and ROBERT F. FISCHER, Associate Judge of the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland, Specially Assigned.


BELL, Judge.

We granted certiorari in this case to consider whether the circuit court has discretion to reinstate a defendant's criminal appeal which previously had been dismissed because the defendant failed to appear for de novo trial. We shall answer that it does. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the Circuit Court for Caroline County and remand the case to that court so that it might exercise its discretion in that regard.
