O R D E R 
 
This 3rd day of August 2007, after careful consideration of appellant’s 
opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the 
judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior 
Court=s well-reasoned decision dated April 19, 2007. The Superior Court did not 
err in concluding that appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief was time-
barred and that appellant had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
