Opinion
No. 240, 2014.

John M. FRANKLIN, Defendant–Below, Appellant, v. STATE of Delaware, Plaintiff–Below, Appellee.
ORDER
This 22nd day of July 2014, after careful consideration of appellant John Franklin's opening brief and the State's motion to affirm, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court's well-reasoned opinion dated April 30, 2014. The Superior Court did not err in concluding that Franklin's fourth motion for postconviction relief was procedurally barred and that he had failed to overcome the procedural hurdles. We also find no abuse of the Superior Court's discretion in denying Franklin's request for the appointment of counsel.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
