This 15th day of October 2012, after careful consideration of the parties’ 
briefs and the record on appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below should 
be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s order dated May 3, 2012 adopting 
the Commissioner’s well-reasoned report dated April 10, 2012.  The Superior 
Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s third motion for postconviction 
relief presented claims that were both untimely and previously adjudicated, and 
that appellant had failed to overcome these procedural hurdles.  Moreover, to the 
extent that appellant’s opening brief raises a new issue that was not presented in 
his motion below, we will not consider that claim for the first time on appeal.

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