D.C. Super. Ct. 23-110 R. 9
Delayed or Successive Motions
(a) Delayed Motions. A motion for relief made pursuant to these rules may be dismissed if
it appears that the government has been prejudiced in its ability to respond to the motion
by the delay in its filing, unless the movant shows that the motion is based on grounds of
which he or she could not have known by the exercise of reasonable diligence before the
circumstances prejudicial to the government occurred.
(b) Successive Motions. A second or successive motion may be dismissed if the judge
finds that it fails to allege new or different grounds for relief and the prior determination was
on the merits or, if new and different grounds are alleged, the judge finds that the failure of
the movant to assert those grounds in a prior motion constituted an abuse of the
procedure governed by these rules.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
