O R D E R 
 
This 21st day of April 2009, after careful consideration of the parties’ 
briefs and the record below, we find it manifest that the judgment below 
should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned 
decision dated July 1, 2008. 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 of 
Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(i)(2) and (i)(4).1  
                                                 
1 To the extent appellant argues that he has been denied access to the Courts because 
correctional officials confiscated his excess legal papers, this Court already informed 
appellant that it would not address a matter of prison administration in the context of this 
appeal.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
