ORDER

This 1* day of September 2016, after consideration of the appellant's
opening brief, the State's motion to affirm, and the record on appeal, we find
it clear that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of, and for
the reasons stated in, the Superior Court’s well-reasoned decision dated May
10, 2016. The Superior Court did not err in denying the appellant's motion
for correction of illegal sentence because the ten-year prison sentence

imposed by the Superior Court for the appellant's conviction for Possession
of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony was within the statutorily-
authorized limits and was otherwise legal.!
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the

Superior Court is AFFIRMED.

BY THE COURT:

 

"To the extent the Superior Court's May 10, 2016 order also denied the appellant's
motion for modification of sentence, the appellant waived any challenge to that raling by
failing to raise the issue in his opening bref on appeal. Murphy v. State, 632 A.24 1150,
1152 (Dal. 1993).
