O R D E R 
 
This 28th day of August 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 well-reasoned decision dated June 28, 
2002.  The Superior Court did not err in concluding that Petsinger lacked 
standing to pursue a motion for postconviction relief because Petsinger had 
been discharged as unimproved from his probationary sentence in March 
2000.*   
                                                 
* See Guinn v. State, No. 549, 1992, Walsh, J. (Apr. 21, 1993).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
