Decided: March 2, 2016
Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VAUGHN, and SEITZ, Justices.
ORDER
This 2nd day of March 2016, upon consideration of the appellant’s opening
brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record, the Court concludes that the
judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-
reasoned decision dated November 20, 2015. The Superior Court did not err in
concluding that the appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief was
procedurally barred and that the motion failed to satisfy the pleading requirements
of Rule 61(d)(2) in order to overcome the procedural hurdles.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Justice
