ID 0210013335A Submitted: April 18, 2014 Decided: May 30, 2014 Before HOLLAND, JACOBS, and RIDGELY, Justices. ORDER This 30th day of May 2014, after careful consideration of the parties briefs and the record on appeal, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court=s well-reasoned decision docketed November 6, 2013. The Superior Court did not err by concluding that appellant s fourth motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that appellant had failed to overcome the procedural hurdles. Moreover, we find no abuse of the Superior Court s discretion in denying appellant s motions for appointment of counsel and for transcript at State expense. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Jack B. Jacobs Justice 2
