ORDER 
After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to 
affirm, and the record on appeal, we affirm the Superior Court’s summary dismissal 
of the appellant’s third, untimely motion for postconviction relief.  The appellant has 
not pleaded with particularity new evidence of actual innocence1 or that a new, 
retroactively applicable rule of constitutional law renders his conviction invalid.2  
Nor has the appellant claimed that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction to enter a 
judgment of conviction and sentence him.3

3 Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(i)(5).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the State’s motion to affirm be 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court be AFFIRMED.
