This 11th day of June 2015, the Court has carefully considered this appeal 
from the denial of appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief under Superior 
Court Criminal Rule 61.  We find it manifest that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision dated 
December 5, 2014.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s 
claims were procedurally barred by Rule 61(i)(1)-(3) and that appellant failed to 
allege any exception to the application of the procedural bars under Rule 61(i)(5).   
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
