O R D E R 
 
This 17th day of August 2006, after careful consideration of 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 May 19, 2006. The Superior Court did not err 
in concluding that appellant’s motion for postconviction relief was time-barred and 
that appellant had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
