O R D E R 
 
This 15th day of July 2009, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs 
and the record on appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision dated January 
22, 2009. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s motion for 
postconviction relief was procedurally barred.  The motion was untimely and 
previously adjudicated, and appellant failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
