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 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. (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 See Redden v. McGill, 549 A.2d 695 (Del. 1988) (holding that this Court s appellate 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. BY THE COURT: s/Joseph T. Walsh Justice jurisdiction over Family Court proceedings is limited to decisions of judges of that Court). -2-
