This 2nd day of April 2018, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs 
and the record on appeal, the Court concludes that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of and for reasons assigned by the Superior Court in its well-
reasoned decision dated August 22, 2017.  The appellant’s arguments concerning 
new information he received from the Department of Correction after he mailed his 
notice of appeal and his liberty interest in good time credit under 11 Del. C.

§ 4381(d) were not fairly presented to the Superior Court for its consideration in the 
first instance and will not be considered in this appeal.1 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.

1 Supr. Ct. R. 8.  Due to this appeal, the Superior Court has not taken any action on the motion for 
a new trial based on the new Department of Correction information that the appellant filed one 
month after he filed this appeal.
