O R D E R 
 
This 4th day of April 2018, after careful consideration of the opening brief, the 
motion to affirm, and the record below, we conclude that the judgment below should 
be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned order dated December 
11, 2017.  The Superior Court did not err in summarily dismissing the appellant’s 
first motion for post-conviction relief under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61.  The 
motion was procedurally barred under Rule 61(i)(1) and failed to allege any 
exception to the application of the procedural bars under Rule 61(i)(5).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
