Before VALIHURA, VAUGHN, and SEITZ, Justices.
ORDER

This 21" day of July 2015, after careful consideration of David
Williams’ opening brief, the State's motion to affirm, and the record on
appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the
basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned decision dated March 26, 2015.
The Superior Court did not err in concluding that Williams’ tenth motion for
postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that he had failed to
overcome the procedural hurdles. Moreover, Williams’ belated contention
that he was sentenced as a habitual offender for a predicate offense that he

committed as a juvenile is simply incorrect as a matter of fact.

 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the

Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
