No. 1212010904 (N) § Plaintiff Below, § Appellee. § Submitted: September 7, 2018 Decided: October 16, 2018 Before VALIHURA, VAUGHN, and SEITZ, Justices.

ORDER After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s well-reasoned order, dated March 14, 2018, denying the appellant’s first motion for postconviction relief.1 As to the appellant’s contention that the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction because the indictment in his possession was unsigned, he did not make this argument below2 and, in any event, the indictment in the record was signed by the grand jury foreperson and a deputy attorney general.

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

BY THE COURT:

/s/ James T. Vaughn, Jr. Justice
