O R D E R 
 
This 15th day of April 2014, after careful consideration of the 
appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s motion to affirm, and the record on 
appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment on appeal should be affirmed 
on the basis of and for the reasons assigned by the Superior Court in its 
memorandum opinion of December 11, 2013.  The Superior Court did not 
err in concluding that the appellant was not entitled to the appointment of 
counsel, and that appellant’s fourth motion for postconviction relief was 
procedurally barred without exception. 
   
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appellee’s motion to 
affirm is GRANTED.  The judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
