O R D E R 
 
 
This 18th day of June 2013, after careful consideration of the parties’ 
briefs and the record on appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below 
should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned, 
twenty-one page opinion dated November 7, 2012. The Superior Court did 
not err in concluding that appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief 
was procedurally barred and that appellant had failed to overcome the 
procedural hurdles. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
