DARREN R. MAY, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below, Appellee. No. 558, 2001 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Decided: December 3, 2001
Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, HOLLAND and BERGER, Justices.
Randy J. Holland, Justice
ORDER
This third day of December 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1) On November 2, 2001, Darren R. May filed a notice of appeal from a decision of a Family Court commissioner dated October 2, 2001. A commissioner's order is not a final judgment for purposes of appealing to this Court. 10 Del. C. § 915(d) provides that a party's right of appeal from a commissioner's order shall be to a judge of the Family Court.
(2) The Court concludes, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c), that the within appeal, on its face, manifestly fails to invoke the Court's See Redden v. McGill, Del. Supr., 549 A.2d 695 (1988) (holding that this Court's appellate jurisdiction over Family Court proceedings is limited to decisions of judges of that Court). jurisdiction, and that the giving of notice of said defect would serve no meaningful purpose and that any response would be of no avail.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
