ORDER 
 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the motion to 
affirm, and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons assigned by the Superior Court’s order, 
dated December 21, 2018, dismissing the appellant’s third motion for postconviction 
relief.  The Superior Court did not err in determining that the motion was 
procedurally barred and did not satisfy the pleading requirements of Superior Court 
Criminal Rule 61(i)(5) or 61(d)(2).   
 
 
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that motion to affirm is GRANTED 
and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
