O R D E R 
 
This 19th day of November 2003, after careful consideration of the 
appellant’s opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that 
the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-
reasoned decision dated July 1, 2003.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding 
that Baker’s postconviction claims were time-barred and/or previously adjudicated 
and that Baker had failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
