O R D E R 
 
Upon consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to 
affirm, and the record below, the Court concludes that the judgment below should 
be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned decision dated April 
24, 2018.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding that the appellant’s second 
motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that the motion failed 
to satisfy the pleading requirements of Rule 61(d)(2) in order to overcome the 
procedural hurdles.

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