O R D E R 
 
This 19th day of June 2003, after careful consideration of the 
appellant’s opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it 
manifest that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the 
basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned order dated March 6, 2003.  The 
Superior Court did not err in concluding that Summers’ second motion for 
postconviction relief was procedurally barred by Superior Court Criminal 
Rules 61(i)(2) and 61(i)(3) and that Summers had failed to overcome these 
procedural hurdles.

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