Lockwood v. Rhodes

1 Citing case

  1. Mccoy v. State

    277 A.2d 675 (Del. 1971)   Cited 9 times
    Considering a promissory estoppel claim against a Delaware state agency and holding that "[a]s a general rule, however, the 'state is not estopped in the exercise of its governmental functions by the acts of its officers.'"

    This was a mistake since that date was McCoy's short-time termination date which came about by reason of 11 Del. C. ยง 4371 and 4372 permitting a reduction in a period of confinement by virtue of good behavior. The Parole Board's control over a parolee actually continues until the expiration of his maximum sentence; in McCoy's case, October 8, 1974. Spurlin v. Department of Corrections, Del.Supr., 230 A.2d 276 (1967); Lockwood v. Rhodes, Del.Super., 11 Terry 287, 129 A.2d 549 (1957). While on parole, McCoy, in 1963, plead guilty to a charge of drunkenness on a public highway.
