O R D E R 
 
 
This 10th day of January 2005, the Court has considered the appellee’s 
motion to affirm pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 25(a) and finds it manifest on the 
face of the appellant’s opening brief that the appeal is without merit for the reasons 
stated by the Superior Court in its decision dated May 21, 2004.  There was no 
abuse of discretion on the part of the Superior Court in denying the appellee’s 
motion to modify that portion of the Superior Court’s sentencing order governing 
contact with the appellee’s daughter. 
 
 
 
 
 
-2-
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appellee’s motion to affirm 
is GRANTED.  The judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
