Deloney v. the State (two Cases)

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Deloney’s motion for an out-of-time appeal from his guilty pleas and sentences. It held that the existing record did not support his challenges to the voluntariness and factual basis of his pleas or to his sentence, while his ineffective-assistance claim concerning a psychiatric evaluation required factual development unavailable through an out-of-time appeal. Because none of his proposed claims warranted that relief, the trial court was not required to hold an evidentiary hearing.
