After consideration of Robert W. Hassett III’s opening brief, the State’s

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to affirm is

GRANTED and the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.

1
Hassett’s motion for permission to respond to the motion to affirm is denied. Under Supreme
Court Rule 25(a), a response to a motion to affirm is not permitted unless requested by the Court.
The Court did not request a response to the motion to affirm and finds no reason to request a
response after considering the motion.
