ORDER 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion 
to affirm, and the record on appeal, the Court concludes that the judgment of the 
Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons assigned by 
the Superior Court in its well-reasoned order dated September 13, 2018.  The 
Superior Court did not abuse its discretion in denying the appellant’s motion for 
reduction of his four-year Level V sentence to the three-year minimum mandatory 
sentence.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
