Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND, and VAUGHN, Justices 
 
O R D E R 
 
 
This 21st day of May 2015, the Court has carefully considered appellant’s 
opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal.  We find it 
manifest that the Superior Court’s judgment should be affirmed. The appellant 
completed his sentences in 2002 and thus had no standing to file a motion for 
postconviction relief under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61.1 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
