Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and VAUGHN, Justices. 
 
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 December 19, 2017 
Superior Court 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 motion to affirm is GRANTED 
and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
