See Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(d)(2) (providing that a second or subsequent motion for
postconviction relief must be summarily dismissed unless the movant was convicted after a trial
and the motion pleads with particularity (i) new evidence of actual innocence or (ii) that a new rule
of constitutional law, made retroactive to cases on collateral review, applies to the movant’s case
and renders the conviction invalid).
