O R D E R 
 
This 15th day of July 2009, after careful consideration of 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 April 16, 2009. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s 
second motion for postconviction relief was time-barred and repetitive and that 
appellant had failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
