O R D E R 
 
This 8th day of November 2005, after careful consideration of the appellant’s 
opening brief, the appellee’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the 
judgment should be affirmed on the basis of the Family Court=s order dated June 3, 
2005.  A motion to reopen a judgment is left to the sound discretion of the trial 
court.*  We find no abuse of the trial court’s discretion in this case.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family 
Court is AFFIRMED.
