Re: State of Delaware v. Anthony L. Kelson
Case ID Nos.: 1112005071, 1301013163 and 1408011166

Counsel:

This Court has reviewed Defendant’s Motion for Modification dated August
12, 2021! and the State’s response dated September 15, 20217. Mr. Kelson was
sentenced in December of 2015 to four years of Level V with transitioning levels
of probation to include six months at Level IV DOC Discretion’. On the same day,
he was sentenced on his VOPs to cases that stem back to 2012 and 2013 wherein
he received one year of Level IV Work Release.* The aggregate total of 18 months
was imposed in 2015.

In light of the progress that Mr. Kelson has made over the last six years, his
Motion is GRANTED to reflect that the Level IV Work Release sentence is
modified to Home Confinement, as unopposed. His VOP Level IV is also reduced
from 1 year to 6 months with holds at Level III until space is available at Level IV
