ORDER
This 14th day of June 2018, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs
and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed
on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned order dated December 4, 2017.
The Superior Court did not err in summarily dismissing the appellant’s first motion
for postconviction relief under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61. The motion was
procedurally barred and did not satisfy the pleading requirements of Rule 61(i)(5)
and 61(d)(2).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ James T. Vaughn, Jr.
Justice
