JOSEPH DICKINSON, § § Defendant Below, § No. 91, 2016 Appellant, § § Court Below-Superior Court v. § of the State of Delaware, § STATE OF DELAWARE, § Cr. ID No. 090l00999OA § Plaintiff Below, § Appellee. §

Submitted: April 8, 2016 Decided: April 29, 2016

Before VALIHURA, VAUGHN, and SEITZ, Justices. 0 R D E R

This 29"' day of April 2016, upon consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record, the Court concludes that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well- reasoned decision dated February 15, 2016. 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 6l(d)(2) and that the motion failed to satisfy the pleading requirements of Superior Court Criminal Rule

6l(d)(2)(i) or 6l(d)(2)(ii) in order to overcome the procedural bar.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that motion to aft`mn is GRANTED

and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
