O R D E R 
 
 
This 9th day of August 2016, upon consideration of the opening brief and 
motion to affirm, we find it evident that the judgment below should be affirmed on 
the basis of the Superior Court order dated June 1, 2016.  The Superior Court did 
not err in its treatment of the appellant’s “motion of a formal letter and progress 
report,” which sought reduction of his Level V time, as a motion for reduction of 
sentence under Superior Court Criminal Rule 35(b) or in its denial of that motion.        
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
