Supreme Court of Delaware

Fatir v. State

October 17, 2019

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Amir Fatir’s motion seeking relief under Civil Rule 60(b). It held that Rule 60(b) cannot be used to reopen criminal judgments and that the Superior Court did not abuse its discretion by treating the portion of Fatir’s motion challenging his convictions as a postconviction motion under Criminal Rule 61 and dismissing it as procedurally barred.
