      This 15th day of June 2017, the Court has considered this matter on the basis

of the opening brief and the State’s motion to affirm and has determined that the

for postconviction relief should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons

assigned by the Superior Court in its well-reasoned Order dated March 30, 2017.

      NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior

Court is AFFIRMED.
