Steedley v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Steedley’s second postconviction motion and request for appointed counsel. It held that the motion was untimely, repetitive, and based on a previously adjudicated ineffective-assistance claim, and that Steedley showed no basis for reconsideration in the interest of justice. The court also held that the federal habeas doctrine invoked by Steedley did not require the Superior Court to address his claim or appoint counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
