                               Decided:   January 12, 2023

Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; VAUGHN and TRAYNOR, Justices.

                                           ORDER

       After consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to

affirm, and the record on appeal, we affirm the Superior Court’s summary dismissal

of the appellant’s third, untimely motion for postconviction relief. The appellant has

not pleaded with particularity new evidence of actual innocence 1 or that a new,

retroactively applicable rule of constitutional law renders his conviction invalid.2

Nor has the appellant claimed that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction to enter a

judgment of conviction and sentence him.3

     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the State’s motion to affirm be

GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court be AFFIRMED.

                           BY THE COURT:

                           /s/ Gary F. Traynor
