ORDER
RANDY J. HOLLAND, Justice.

This 20th day of June 2011, having considered the opening brief filed by the appellant, Kevin L.

The issues presented on appeal are controlled by settled Delaware law.

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

[*] State v. Hill, 2011 WL 300245 (Del. Super.) (concluding that defendant’s convictions for possession of a firearm by him and his co-defendant during the commission of three criminal offenses did not violate his constitutional rights nor make his sentence illegal).
