ORDER After careful consideration of the appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal, we conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s order, dated March 4, 2020 and docketed March 6, 2020, denying the appellant’s fourth motion for postconviction relief as procedurally barred.
