GUANGO F. CORREA, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. FAMILY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below, Appellee. No. 475, 2002 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: August 15, 2002 Decided: August 27, 2002
Before VEASEY, Chief Justice, WALSH and HOLLAND, Justices.

ORDER
This 27th day of August 2002, it appears to the Court that:
(1) On August 15, 2002, the appellant, Guango F. Correa, filed a pro se notice of appeal from a Family Court Commissioner's decision dated July 26, 2002. A Commissioner's order is not a final judgment for purposes of appealing to this Court. Section 10 Del. C. § 915(d) of Title 10 of the Delaware Code provides that a party's right of appeal from a Commissioner's order shall be to a judge of the Family Court.
See Redden v. McGill, 549 A.2d 695 (Del. 1988) (holding that this Court's appellate Justice jurisdiction over Family Court proceedings is limited decisions of judges of that 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 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, sua sponte.
