O R D E R 
 
 
This 15th day of July 2011, 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 order adopting the 
Commissioner’s report dated March 3, 2011. The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that appellant’s fourth 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.
