ORDER

After consideration of the opening brief and the Family Court record, we find

it evident that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of and for the

reasons cited by the Family Court in its March 1, 2024 order affirming a Family

Court commissioner’s denial of the appellant’s motion to reopen protection-from-

abuse proceedings.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family

Court is AFFIRMED.
