ID. 9505010380 Submitted: March 31, 2006 Decided: June 6, 2006 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and RIDGELY, Justices. ORDER This 6th day of June 2006, after careful consideration of the parties briefs and the record below, we find it manifest that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s wellreasoned decision dated November 10, 2005. The Superior Court did not err in denying Norman Deshields motion for correction of sentence because the record reflects that Deshields knowingly and voluntarily entered his guilty plea in 1998 and, as part of his plea agreement, stipulated to his status as an habitual offender and agreed to be sentenced to 20 years at Level V imprisonment. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Myron T. Steele Chief Justice 2
