This 10th day of April 2014, the Court has carefully considered the 
appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on 
appeal.  We find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on 
the basis of the Superior Court=s order dated June 4, 2013. The Superior 
Court did not err in concluding that the claims in the appellant’s fifth motion 
for postconviction relief were procedurally barred and that the appellant had 
failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  Moreover, we find no abuse of 
discretion in the Superior Court’s denial of the appellant’s request for 
transcripts.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
