O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of May 2004, after careful consideration of the appellant 
Reggie Folks’ opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it 
manifest that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the 
basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision dated February 25, 
2004.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding that the claims raised in 
Folks’ third motion for postconviction relief were either repetitive or 
previously adjudicated and that Folks had failed to overcome the procedural 
hurdles of Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(i)(2) and (i)(4).  Moreover, 
Folks’ motion was filed well beyond the three-year limitations period 
provided for in Rule 61(i)(1).

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