JOHN PETSINGER, Defendant Below-Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below-Appellee. No. 422, 2002 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: August 1, 2002 Decided: August 28, 2002

Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH, and HOLLAND, Justices.

ORDER

JOSEPH T. WALSH, Justice:

This 28th day of August 2002, after careful consideration of the appellant's opening brief, the State's motion to affirm, and the record, we find it manifest that the judgment of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court's well-reasoned decision dated June 28, 2002. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that Petsinger lacked standing to pursue a motion for postconviction relief because Petsinger had been discharged as unimproved from his probationary sentence in March 2000.

See Guinn v. State, No. 549, 1992, Walsh, J. (Apr. 21, 1993).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
