Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE RONALDO WILLIAMS, §

§ No. 434, 2015 Defendant Below- §

Appellant, §

§ v. § Court Below—Superior Court § of the State of Delaware, STATE OF DELAWARE, § in and for New Castle County § Cr. ID Nos. 1203017926 and Plaintiff Below- § 1205011732 Appellee. §

Submitted: October 27, 2015 Decided: December 14, 2015 Before HOLLAND, VALIHURA, and VAUGHN, Justices.

ORDER

This 14th day of December 2015, the Court has carefully considered the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal. The appellant, who pled guilty to offenses involving the possession of illegal drugs, appeals the dismissal of his Rule 61 motion for postconviction relief. In several prior cases, this Court has rejected various iterations of the same arguments presented in this appeal.1 For the reasons stated in those cases, we affirm the Superior Court’s denial of postconviction relief in this appeal. The appellant’s petition was procedurally barred as untimely, and he failed to overcome that procedural hurdle.

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

BY THE COURT:

/s/ Karen L. Valihura Justice
