This 26th day of August 2011, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
The defendant-appellant, Harry D. Pottios, filed an appeal from 
the Superior Court’s January 6, 2011 order denying his motion for correction 
of his sentence for Burglary in the Third Degree.  In its answering brief, the 
State agreed with Pottios that the matter should be remanded to the Superior 
Court to give him credit for 120 days of Level V time previously served.  
This Court remanded the matter to the Superior Court for correction of 
Pottios’s sentence.  On June 21, 2011, the Superior Court corrected Pottios’s 
sentence to give him credit for an additional 120 days of Level V time.

(2) 
On July 28, 2011, the Clerk issued a notice to show cause 
directing Pottios to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed as 
moot in light of the Superior Court’s June 21, 2011 order.  On August 10, 
2011, Pottios responded to the notice to show cause stating that his appeal 
was not moot because he was entitled to an additional 12 days of Level V 
credit.  The State filed a reply to Pottios’s response on August 22, 2011.  In 
the response, the State agrees with Pottios that he is entitled to that 
additional credit. 
 
(3) 
Because it appears that Pottios is entitled to an additional 12 
days of Level V credit, this matter will be remanded to the Superior Court 
for application of that credit time to Pottios’s sentence.   
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this matter is hereby 
remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings in accordance with 
this Order.  Jurisdiction is not retained.
