Opinion
No. 759, 2010.
January 10, 2011.
Before BERGER, JACOBS and RIDGELY, Justices.
ORDER
This 10th day of January 2011, it appears to the Court that:
(1) On December 13, 2010, the pro se appellant filed a notice of appeal from two Court of Common Pleas violation of probation sentencing orders dated December 3, 2010. On December 16, 2010, the Clerk issued a notice pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) directing the appellant to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed based upon this Court's lack of jurisdiction to entertain a criminal appeal directly from the Court of Common Pleas.
Del. Const. art. IV, § 11.
(2) On January 4, 2011, the appellant filed a response to the notice to show cause. In his response, the appellant states that his sentences are unduly harsh and he asks this Court to entertain his appeal.
(3) Under the Delaware Constitution, this Court does not have jurisdiction to entertain criminal appeals directly from the Court of Common Pleas. Therefore, the appellant's notice of appeal fails to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court and his appeal must be dismissed.
Id.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
