ORDER 
 
After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’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 August 15, 2022, 
summarily dismissing the appellant’s successive motion for postconviction relief 
(the “Eleventh Motion”).  The Eleventh Motion was expressly grounded on 
relitigating the Superior Court’s 2019 denial of the appellant’s tenth motion for 
postconviction relief.  The Superior Court did not err by concluding that the Eleventh 
Motion was procedurally barred and that the appellant had failed to overcome the 
procedural hurdles established by Superior Court Criminal Rule 61. 
2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is 
GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
