ORDER This 21st day of September 2005, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties and the record below, it appears to the Court that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth in its well-reasoned decision dated December 16, 2004.

To the extent that the appellant seeks to assert claims in this appeal that were not asserted in the Superior Court, we decline to review those claims.1 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Jack B. Jacobs Justice Supr. Ct. R. 8.
