This 1st day of June 2010, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs 
and the Superior Court record, we conclude that the judgment of the Superior 
Court should be affirmed on the basis of the court’s well-reasoned decision of June 
30, 2009.  The Superior Court judge’s denial of the appellant’s motion to recuse 
was entirely proper as was the court’s summary dismissal of the appellant’s third 
motion for postconviction relief as procedurally barred without exception.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
