Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

LEONDRE M. WILLIAMS, § § No. 274, 2018 Defendant Below- § Appellant, § Court Below—Superior Court § of the State of Delaware v. § § Cr. ID S1603008327 STATE OF DELAWARE, § § Plaintiff Below- § Appellee. §

Submitted: July 13, 2018 Decided: July 30, 2018 Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and TRAYNOR, Justices.

ORDER Upon consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record below, the Court concludes that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned decision dated April 24, 2018. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that the appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that the motion failed to satisfy the pleading requirements of Rule 61(d)(2) in order to overcome the procedural hurdles.

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

BY THE COURT: /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. Chief Justice
