Hall v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the Superior Court's denial of Hall's motion under Civil Rule 60(b)(6). It held that Hall could not use that rule to attack his criminal convictions or reopen the denial of his transcript request because Criminal Rule 61 is the exclusive remedy and Hall did not satisfy the requirements for avoiding the successive-petition bar. The Court also found no plain error concerning certified records for commutation proceedings and no reversible prejudice from the failure to notify Hall of a judicial conflict and reassignment.
