O R D E R 
 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s 
motion to affirm, and the record below, we conclude that the Superior Court’s 
August 22, 2018 order summarily dismissing the appellant’s second motion for 
postconviction relief should be affirmed.  The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that the motion was procedurally barred and did not satisfy the pleading 
requirements of Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(d)(2).  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED. The judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
