Perkins v. State

November 22, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the denial of Gary Perkins’s motion for postconviction relief. It held that postconviction counsel complied with the governing withdrawal procedure, had only limited duties after withdrawal was granted, had no continuing obligation to represent Perkins on appeal under the applicable Supreme Court rule, and fulfilled the limited obligations imposed by the stay order.
