O R D E R 
 
 
This 12th day of October 2011, after careful consideration of the parties’ 
arguments on appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be 
affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s April 27, 2011 order adopting the 
Commissioner’s report dated November 23, 2010. The Superior Court did not err 
in concluding that appellant’s third motion for postconviction relief was untimely, 
and appellant had failed to overcome this procedural hurdle. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior 
Court is AFFIRMED.
