O R D E R 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion 
to affirm, and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order, dated October 19, 2022, denying 
the appellant’s motion for correction of illegal sentence.  The appellant’s sentences 
for three counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony are not 
illegal.1 
 
 
1 See DeShields v. State, 2015 WL 115487 (Del. Jan. 7, 2015) (affirming denial of motion for 
correction of illegal sentence and rejecting claim that sentences for two counts of possession of a 
firearm during the commission of a felony—one related to the defendant’s conviction for first-
degree robbery and one related to his conviction for second-degree assault—violated the Double 
Jeopardy Clause).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
