Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND, and VAUGHN, Justices
ORDER
This 21st day of May 2015, the Court has carefully considered appellant’s
opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal. We find it
manifest that the Superior Court’s judgment should be affirmed. The appellant
completed his sentences in 2002 and thus had no standing to file a motion for
postconviction relief under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61.1
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr.
Chief Justice
