O R D E R 
 
This first day of July 2010, after careful consideration of appellant’s opening 
brief and the State’s motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the judgment below 
should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned decision dated 
March 12, 2010. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that appellant’s fifth 
motion for postconviction relief was time-barred, that his claims were otherwise 
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.
