  Decided:

Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH, and STEELE, Justices.
O R D E R
This 16th day of July 2002, we have carefully considered appellant Thomas
Moore’s opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm.  We find it manifest on the
face of the opening brief that the appeal is without merit because the issue on
appeal is clearly controlled by a prior decision of the Court in this case.*  In appeal
No. 285, 2001, we held, among other things, that the Superior Court’s sentence for
Moore’s second violation of probation properly credited Moore with all time
previously served at Level V.  Moore is not entitled to any additional credit. That
ruling is the law of the case.  Accordingly, the Superior Court’s decision denying
Moore’s latest motion for reduction of sentence is controlled by settled law.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the State's motion to affirm is
GRANTED.  The judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
