O R D E R 
This 11th day of December 2002, 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 4, 2002.  The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that Gholdson’s motion for postconviction relief was time-barred and 
previously adjudicated.  The Superior Court correctly held that Gholdson had failed to 
overcome these procedural hurdles because this Court’s recent decision in Harris v. 
State, 806 A.2d 119 (Del. 2002), does not apply to Gholdson’s case.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court 
is AFFIRMED.
