Supreme Court of Delaware

Cuffee v. State

May 6, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Cuffee’s first postconviction-relief motion. It held that his request to rehear recordings sought to relitigate issues already decided on direct appeal, that additional claims were procedurally barred, and that he failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. The court concluded that counsel’s challenged decisions were reasonable or nonprejudicial. No separate opinions were filed.
