O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of September 2010, after careful consideration of appellant’s 
opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the judgment 
below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision 
dated April 20, 2010. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s 
second motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that appellant 
had failed to overcome the procedural hurdles.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
