This 24th day of June 2013, the Court has considered the parties’ briefs and 
the record on appeal from the Superior Court’s denial of the appellant’s first 
motion for postconviction relief.  In light of this Court’s recent decision in Holmes 
v. State1 and the Superior Court’s adoption of a new rule regarding the appointment 
of counsel to defendants in first postconviction proceedings,2 we have determined 
that this matter should be remanded to the Superior Court for the appointment of 
counsel, amended briefing, and reconsideration of the appellant’s first motion for 
postconviction relief.

2 Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(e) (effective May 6, 2013).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is 
REMANDED to the Superior Court for further proceedings consistent with this 
Order.  Jurisdiction is not retained.
