Opinion

No. 146, 2015.

Shawna LAWSON, Petitioner Below, Appellant, v. STATE of Delaware, Respondent Below, Appellee.


ORDER

RANDY J. HOLLAND, Justice.

This 23rd day of April 2015, it appears to the Court that:

(1) On March 24, 2015, the Court received the appellant's notice of appeal from an order dated February 24, 2015, which was entered by a Superior Court Commissioner. The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice directing the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for this Court's lack of jurisdiction to consider an appeal directly from a Superior Court Commissioner's order.

(2) In her response to the notice to show cause, the appellant does not address this Court's lack of jurisdiction. The right of review of a Commissioner's order is to a judge of the Superior Court . In the absence of intermediate review by a Superior Court judge, this Court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal directly from a Superior Court Commissioner's order. Therefore, this appeal must be dismissed.

Super. Ct. Civ. R. 132.

See Johnson v. State, 884 A.2d 475, 479 (Del.2005).

--------

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rule 29(b), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
