Before HOLLAND, BERGER, and JACOBS, Justices 
 
O R D E R 
 
 
This 28th day of August 2012, after careful consideration of the 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 
well-reasoned decision dated May 17, 2012. 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.
