O R D E R 
 
This 7th day of October 2002, after careful consideration of the appellant’s 
opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm and the record, we find it manifest 
that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of the 
Superior Court’s decision dated July 10, 2002.  The Superior Court did not 
abuse its discretion when it denied the appellant’s motion for a reduction of 
sentence as untimely.* 
                                                 
*Absent extraordinary circumstances, a motion for reduction of sentence must be filed 
within ninety days of sentencing.  Super.  Ct.  R.  35(b).

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