O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of September 2004, 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 decision dated June 28, 2004.  The Superior Court did not 
err in concluding that Smith’s second motion for postconviction relief was time-
barred and that Smith had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
