O R D E R 
 
This 30th day of May 2018, after careful consideration of the appellant’s 
opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record, we conclude that the 
judgment below should be affirmed for the reasons stated in the Superior Court’s 
well-reasoned decision dated October 23, 2017.  The Superior Court did not err in 
concluding that the appellant’s fourth motion for postconviction relief was 
procedurally barred and that the appellant failed to overcome the procedural hurdles. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
