Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND, and VAUGHN, Justices.
ORDER
This 13th day of April 2015, after careful consideration of the appellant’s
opening brief, the appellee’s motion to affirm, and the record below, we find it
manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior
Court’s order, dated January 14, 2015, adopting the report and recommendations of
the Commissioner. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that the
appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred by
Superior Court Criminal Rule 61 and that the appellant had failed to overcome the
procedural hurdles.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that motion to affirm is GRANTED
and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr.
Chief Justice
