ID 1008014466 Submitted: August 25, 2015 Decided: October 19, 2015 Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND, and SEITZ, Justices ORDER This 19th day of October 2015, the Court has carefully considered appellant’s opening brief, the State’s motion to affirm, and the record on appeal. We find it manifest that the Superior Court’s summary dismissal of the appellant’s motion for postconviction under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61 should be affirmed. The appellant was discharged from probation on both of his convictions in this case in 2011 and thus had no standing to seek relief under Rule 61.1 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr. Chief Justice 1 See Baltazar v. State, 2015 WL 257334, *3 (Del. Jan. 20, 2015).
