ORDER 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion 
to affirm, the record on appeal, and the appellant’s “Motion to Amend; Retract” and 
“Motion to Retract Opening Brief,” we conclude that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order, dated March 30, 2022, denying 
the appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief as procedurally barred.  The 
appellant has not pleaded any circumstances under Rule 61(d)(2)(i) or (d)(2)(ii) that 
overcome the procedural bars set forth in Rule 61,1 nor does he claim that the 
Superior Court lacked jurisdiction.2
