O R D E R 
 
This 7th day of April 2009, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs, 
we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the 
Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision dated October 16, 2008. The Superior 
Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s second motion for postconviction 
relief was procedurally defaulted.  His motion was both time-barred and repetitive, 
and appellant failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
