Before SEITZ, Chief Justice; LEGROW and GRIFFITHS, Justices.

ORDER

After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record below, we find

it evident that the judgment should be affirmed on the basis of the Superior Court’s

order dated August 7, 2024. The plea colloquy reflects that the appellant entered his

guilty plea knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily, and he therefore waived his

claim that counsel failed to investigate and then file a motion to suppress.1

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

Court is AFFIRMED.
