This 20th day of June 2011, having considered the opening brief filed by the 
appellant, Kevin L. Hill, and the motion to affirm filed by the appellee, State of 
Delaware, the Court concludes that the judgment of the Superior Court should be 
affirmed on the basis of the court’s well-reasoned decision of January 19, 2011*  
The Superior Court did not err when concluding that Hill’s motion for correction 
of illegal sentence was without merit.  The issues presented on appeal are 
controlled by settled Delaware law.  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED.  The judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.

* State v. Hill, 2011 WL 300245 (Del. Super.) (concluding that defendant’s convictions for 
possession of a firearm by him and his co-defendant during the commission of three criminal 
offenses did not violate his constitutional rights nor make his sentence illegal).
