Mary Tullis, of Hemlock Street, has been fighting since last August to overturn a Luzerne County judge’s ruling that terminated her rights to her two children.
Tullis, who was represented by Assistant Public Defender Mark Clinton, initially appealed the ruling to the state Superior Court on Sept. 10, 2009, but the case was dismissed on Feb. 26, after Clinton failed to file a legal brief detailing the issues on appeal."
