ORDER 
 
 
After careful 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 denying the appellant’s 
fourth motion for postconviction relief.  The appellant has not pleaded with 
particularity new evidence of actual innocence or that a new, retroactive rule of 
constitutional law renders his convictions invalid.1  Nor has he asserted any claim 
that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction. 2

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that motion to affirm is GRANTED 
and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
