O R D E R
This 28th day of March 2001, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties,
we conclude that this appeal should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons
set forth in, the decision of the Superior Court dated August 22, 2000.  We further
conclude that there is no merit to appellant’s contention that the Superior Court
lacked jurisdiction to consider this matter under Superior Court Civil Rule 72.1 The
revision of that rule was accomplished by court rule, not by statute, and became
effective after May 26, 2000, the date of submission in the Superior Court.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court be, and the same hereby is,
AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
