ORDER 
 
 
After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the appellee’s motion to 
affirm, and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order, dated April 7, 2022, denying the 
appellant’s untimely motion for postconviction relief.1  The appellant has not 
pleaded any circumstances under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(d)(2)(i) or 
(d)(2)(ii) that overcome the procedural bar set forth in Rule 61(i)(1), nor does he 
claim that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction.2

2 Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(i)(5).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that motion to affirm is GRANTED 
and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
