Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE ERIC HOLMES, § § No. 267, 2014 Defendant Below- § Appellant, § Court Below: Superior Court § of the State of Delaware in and v. § for New Castle County § STATE OF DELAWARE, § No. 1210019908 § Plaintiff Below- § Appellee. § Submitted: January 28, 2015 Decided: January 29, 2015 Before STRINE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and RIDGELY, Justices.

ORDER On this 29th day of January 2015, after careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record below, we find that the Superior Court’s ruling denying the Appellant’s motion for acquittal should be affirmed. The State offered sufficient evidence so that a rational trier of fact, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, could have found that the Appellant knowingly possessed a firearm in violation of 11 Del. C. § 14481 beyond a reasonable doubt.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.

BY THE COURT: /s/ Henry duPont Ridgely Justice Del. C. § 1448.
