1Opinion of the Court

CHANDLER, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. Michael Angelo Bolton was convicted of murder on April 30, 1998. Bolton filed a post-conviction relief (PCR) petition, which was denied and affirmed on appeal. Bolton then filed a motion to clarify his sentence. The court ruled that the motion was nothing more than another PCR, and summarily denied it as being a successive writ. Aggrieved, Bolton petitions this Court to reverse the lower court’s denial of his second PCR and determine:

I. WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED BY DENYING BOLTON’S REQUEST TO CLARIFY HIS SENTENCE.

¶ 2. Finding no error, we affirm.
