Steck v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the summary dismissal of Ryan Steck’s Rule 61 motion challenging his 2008 guilty pleas based on alleged undisclosed misconduct at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The court held that the guilty plea waived claims concerning impeachment evidence relevant only to a trial and that Steck lacked standing because he was no longer in custody under the challenged sentence and identified no continuing right, disability, or burden.
