DEAN C. BLACK, Defendant Below-Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below-Appellee. No. 326, 2002 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: August 9, 2002 Decided: August 27, 2002
Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH, and HOLLAND, Justices.
Joseph T. Walsh, Justice:
ORDER
This 27th 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 3, 2002. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that Black's claim, which alleged that the Superior Court had no jurisdiction over his offenses for attempted rape because State agencies could have sought a protection from abuse order against him in Family Court, lacked substantive merit.
Moreover, Black's motion for postconviction relief clearly was time-barred under Superior Court Criminal Rule 61(i)(1).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
