O R D E R 
 
 
This 24th day of April 2014, after careful consideration of the appellant’s 
opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal, we find it 
manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior 
Court=s decision dated March 11, 2014.  The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief was procedurally 
barred and that appellant had failed to overcome the procedural hurdles. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
