ORDER 
 
 
After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s motion to 
affirm,1 and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment of the Superior 
Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons stated in its February 
28, 2022 order denying the appellant’s request that the court vacate his first-degree 
murder conviction and life sentence.   
 
1 The appellant’s request for leave to respond to the motion to affirm is denied.  Under Supreme 
Court Rule 25(a), a response to a motion to affirm is not permitted unless requested by the Court.  
The Court did not request a response to the motion to affirm and finds no reason to request a 
response after considering the appellant’s motion. 
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion for leave to respond 
to the motion to affirm is DENIED, the motion to affirm is GRANTED, and the 
judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
