Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
AMIR FATIR f/k/a STERLING § HOBBS, § § No. 202, 2025 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § Court Below—Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Cr. ID No. 75060892DI (N) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. §
Submitted: June 6, 2025 Decided: July 28, 2025
Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and TRAYNOR, Justices.
ORDER
After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s motion to
affirm, and the record on appeal, we find it evident that the judgment below should
be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons assigned by the Superior Court in its
order, dated April 25, 2025, denying the appellant’s motion for correction of illegal
sentence. The United States Supreme Court’s decision in Erlinger v. United States1
has no bearing on the appellant’s life sentence for first-degree murder.
1 602 U.S. 821, 835 (2024) (holding that a unanimous jury must determine beyond a reasonable doubt whether a defendant's prior offenses were committed on separate occasions for purposes of enhanced sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act). NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is
GRANTED, and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Karen L. Valihura Justice
