O R D E R 
 
This 4th day of September 2009, after careful consideration of the briefs of 
the parties, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the 
basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision dated March 31, 2009. The 
Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s motion for postconviction 
relief was time-barred and that appellant had failed to overcome this procedural 
hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
