O R D E R 
 
This 25th day of February 2005, 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 September 24, 2004.  The Superior Court did 
not err in concluding that Israel’s second motion for postconviction relief was 
time-barred and that Israel had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
