Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and RIDGELY, Justices 
 
O R D E R 
 
 
This 20th day of September 2013, after careful consideration of the opening 
brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record below, we find it manifest that 
the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-
reasoned decision dated July 1, 2013. 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.
