O R D E R 
 
This 30th day of October 2006, after careful consideration of appellant’s 
opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the 
judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-
reasoned decision dated July 12, 2006. The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that appellant’s motion for postconviction relief was both time-barred 
and repetitive and that appellant had failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
