PAUL E. WEBER, Defendant below, Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below, Appellee. No. 592, 2001 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: September 4, 2002 Decided: October 4, 2002

ORDER

This 4th day of October, 2002, it appears to the Court that:

(1) In July 2000, a Superior Court jury found the defendant-appellant Paul Weber guilty of Forgery in the Second Degree and Misdemeanor Theft. The trial judge sentenced Weber to thirty days at Supervision Level V for each offense.

This is Weber's direct appeal.

(2) Pursuant to Article IV, Section 11( 1)(b) of the Delaware Constitution, this Court lacks jurisdiction to receive an appeal in a criminal matter unless the sentence imposed is a term of imprisonment exceeding one month or a fine exceeding $100. Neither of Weber's convictions resulted in a term of imprisonment exceeding one month nor a fine exceeding $100. A defendant is not permitted to aggregate penalties in order to meet the jurisdictional thresholds set by the Delaware Constitution. Consequently, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal.

See also Brookens v. State, Del. Supr., 466 A.2d 1218, 1219 (1988).

Marker v. State, Del. Supr., 450 A.2d 397, 399 (1982).

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED.
