Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
LARRY SAUNDERS, § § No. 319, 2025 Defendant Below, § Appellant, § Court Below—Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Crim. ID No. 2109011647 (N) STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Appellee. §
Submitted: September 2, 2025 Decided: October 30, 2025
Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; LEGROW and GRIFFITHS, Justices.
ORDER
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion
to affirm, and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s memorandum opinion dated June 19,
2025. The Superior Court had personal and subject matter jurisdiction in this
criminal case, and the appellant’s argument that counsel’s failure to challenge the
court’s jurisdiction deprived him of effective assistance of counsel or rendered his
guilty plea involuntary is meritless. 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/ N. Christopher Griffiths Justice
