Decided: August 10, 2017
Before VAUGHN, SEITZ, and TRAYNOR, Justices.
ORDER
This 10th day of August 2017, after careful consideration of the
appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, the appellant’s
response to the motion, and the record, we conclude that the judgment below
should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons stated in, the Superior
Court’s well-reasoned decisions dated May 25, 2017 and May 30, 2017. The
Superior Court did not err in concluding that the appellant’s fourth motion for
postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that the appellant failed to
overcome the procedural hurdles. We also find no abuse of the Superior
Court’s discretion in denying the appellant’s motion to recuse the assigned
judge.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the
Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Collins J. Seitz, Jr.
Justice
