O R D E R 
 
 
This 7th day of April, it appears to the Court that: 
 
The defendant-appellant, Michael Manley, has filed an appeal from 
the Superior Court’s judgment that denied his Motion for Post-Conviction 
Relief and Motion to Preclude a New Penalty Hearing.  The Court has 
considered the written briefs and oral arguments of the parties.  The Court 
has concluded that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on 
the basis of its well-reasoned Memorandum Opinion dated October 2, 2003. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment 
of the Superior Court is Affirmed.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the 
time within which a motion for reargument may be timely filed under 
Supreme Court Rule 18 is shortened to five days from the date of this 
Opinion. This Order is due to the impending change in the composition of 
the Supreme Court, arising out of the retirement of the Chief Justice in April 
2004.
