O R D E R 
 
This 31st day of May 2013, after careful consideration of the opening brief, 
the motion to affirm, 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 March 27, 2013. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that 
appellant’s motion to reopen a 2006 postconviction judgment was, in fact, an 
untimely motion to reargue or amend the 2006 judgment. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
