O R D E R 
 
This 17th day of June 2009, after careful consideration of appellant’s opening 
brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the judgment below 
should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision 
dated March 20, 2009. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that 
appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred by 
Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(i)(1)-(3) and that appellant had failed to 
overcome these procedural hurdles.  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
