O R D E R 
 
This 4
th day of August 2003, after careful consideration of the appellant’s 
opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the 
judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior 
Court=s well-reasoned decision dated May 2, 2003.  The Superior Court did not err 
in concluding that Bass’ motion for postconviction relief was time-barred and that 
Bass had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
