Decided:   June 8, 2016 
 
Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND and VAUGHN, Justices.  
O R D E R 
This 8th day of June 2016, upon consideration of the parties’ briefs and the 
record below, it appears to the Court that the defendant in this case alleges that his 
conviction should be set aside because his home was searched in violation of the 
Fourth Amendment and that he should have received a new trial because of the 
misconduct at the OCME.  Both of these arguments were addressed and rejected in 
written decisions of our Superior Court, and we affirm the defendant’s conviction 
on the basis of the Superior Court’s decisions.1  
                                          
 
1 See State v. Burton, 2013 WL 4852342 (Del. Super. Sept. 9, 2013); State v. Burton, ID. No.
