Submitted: February 9, 2022

Court Below-Superior Court of the State of Delaware Cr. ID No. 1910007361 (N)

Before VAUGHN, TRAYNOR, and MONTGOMERY-REEVES, Justices.

ORDER

GARY F. TRAYNOR, JUSTICE

After careful consideration of the appellant's opening brief, the appellee's motion to affirm and the record below, we conclude that the Superior Court order denying the second motion for sentence reduction filed by the appellant, Jeffrey Morton, should be affirmed. Superior Court Criminal "Rule 35(b) does not set forth any exception to the repetitive motion bar."

State v. Culp, 152 A.3d 141, 144 (Del. Dec. 8, 2016). See also Martinez v. Metzger, 2018 WL 3768993, at *3 (Del. Aug. 7, 2018) (affirming the Superior Court's denial of a motion for sentence reduction as repetitive).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
