O R D E R 
 
This 27th day of March 2018, after consideration of the appellant’s opening 
brief, the appellee’s motion to affirm,1 and the record below, we conclude that the 
judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-
reasoned order dated December 19, 2017.  The appellant’s motion for correction of 
a sentence imposed in an illegal manner was a reformulation of previous, 
unsuccessful attacks on his indictment.  The Superior Court did not err in finding 
                                                 
1 On March 12, 2018, the appellant filed a motion for leave to respond to the motion to affirm. 
Under Supreme Court Rule 25(a), a response to a motion to affirm is not permitted unless requested 
by the Court. The Court did not request a response to the motion to affirm and finds no reason to 
request a response after considering the appellant's motion. 
2 
 
that the appellant challenged his underlying conviction, not his sentence as required 
by Superior Court Criminal Rule 35(a), and that he was not entitled to the relief he 
sought.   
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
