Supreme Court of Delaware

Evans v. State

January 14, 2015

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the summary dismissal of Evans’s fourth motion for postconviction relief. The court held that claims not addressed in Evans’s opening brief were waived and that his successive motion failed to plead either of the particularized exceptions required for review of a second or subsequent motion. The court also warned that continued repetitive and meritless filings could result in filing restrictions.
