O R D E R 
This 19th day of November 2013, upon consideration of the “motion to 
dismiss/affirm” filed by the appellee, and the appellant’s answer to the motion to 
dismiss and his related motions, the Court finds it manifest that the judgment 
below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order dated June 19, 
2013.  The Superior Court did not err when summarily dismissing the appellant’s 
nineteenth motion for postconviction relief as procedurally barred under Superior 
Court Criminal Rule 61.  Likewise on appeal the appellant has failed to overcome 
the procedural hurdles of Rule 61. 
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appellee’s motion to affirm 
is GRANTED, and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.  All other 
motions are denied as MOOT.
