Loper v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed Loper’s convictions and sentences after independently reviewing the record under the appellate withdrawal procedure. Because Loper did not move to suppress the evidence below, the court reviewed his search challenge only for plain error and found none: the warrant affidavit established probable cause and the search remained within the warrant’s scope. The court also rejected Loper’s conclusory ineffective-assistance claim concerning appellate counsel.
