O R D E R 
 
 
This 31st day of June 2013, after careful consideration of the opening brief, 
the motion to affirm, and the record on appeal, we find it manifest that the 
judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s judgment 
adopting the well-reasoned decision of the Commissioner dated December 24, 
2012. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s fifth motion for 
postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that appellant had failed to 
overcome the procedural hurdles. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
