O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of June 2006, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs 
and the record below, we find it manifest that the judgment of the Superior Court 
should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned opinion 
dated August 29, 2005.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding that 
appellant’s motion for postconviction relief, which included six claims of 
ineffective assistance of counsel, lacked substantive merit.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
