ID 86013001DI Submitted: March 13, 2009 Decided: April 21, 2009 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and BERGER, Justices. ORDER This 21st day of April 2009, after careful consideration of the parties briefs and the record below, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court s well-reasoned decision dated July 1, 2008.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Randy J. Holland Justice 2
