ORDER 
 
After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s motion to 
affirm and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order, dated September 7, 2022, 
denying the appellant’s motion for reargument and the Superior Court’s order, dated 
July 6, 2022, holding that the appellant’s motion for postconviction relief was 
procedurally barred by Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(i)(3).  To the extent the 
appellant contends that he was deprived of counsel in the postconviction 
proceedings, he did not request appointment of counsel in the Superior Court and 
has not shown that he would have satisfied the Rule 61(e)(3) criteria for appointment 
of counsel. 
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
