O R D E R 
 
This 23rd day of February 2005, after careful consideration of the parties’ 
briefs and the record below, 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 September 24, 2004.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding 
that the motion for postconviction relief was time-barred under Superior Court 
Criminal Rule 61(i)(1) and that Carney had failed to overcome this procedural 
hurdle.

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