Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware dismissed Kenneth Deputy’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the Superior Court to consider his motion to dismiss appointed counsel and appoint new counsel. The Court held that Deputy had no clear right to counsel of his choice and had adequate remedies through direct appeal or postconviction proceedings.
