O R D E R 
 
 
This 26th day of March 2018, after careful consideration of the opening brief 
and the motion to affirm, it is clear that the judgment below should be affirmed on 
the basis of and for the reasons assigned by the Superior Court in its well-reasoned 
decision dated January 2, 2018.  Flonnory argued in his motion that, in 1996, a minor 
witness against him had been interviewed by the FBI without a parent present.  The 
Superior Court did not err in concluding that this claim was procedurally barred and 
did not satisfy the pleading requirements of Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(d)(2).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
