KOBUS and MIKE LITTLE, Defendants BelowAppellees. § § § § § § § § § § § § § § § No. 298, 2005 Court Below ¯Superior Court of the State of Delaware, in and for New Castle County C.A. No. 04C-10-213 Submitted: July 28, 2005 Decided: September 7 , 2005 Before HOLLAND, BERGER, and JACOBS, Justices. ORDER This 7th day of September 2005, upon consideration of the rule to show cause, the appellant s response, and the appellees reply thereto, it appears to the Court that: (1) The appellant, Jeron Brown, filed this appeal from the Superior Court s order dated June 17, 2005, which revoked his in forma pauperis status. The Superior Court s order directed Brown to pay the filing fee and associated costs within fifteen days of its order. Brown did not pay the filing fees, but instead filed this appeal. (2) It is well-established that the trial court s denial of in forma pauperis status is an interlocutory ruling that is subject to the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 42.1 This Court requires strict compliance with Rule 42 whenever a party seeks review of an interlocutory ruling in a civil case.2 Brown has made no attempt to comply with Rule 42 in this case. Accordingly, dismissal of this appeal is appropriate. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the within appeal is hereby DISMISSED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Carolyn Berger Justice 1 Abdul-Adbar v. Washington-Hall, 649 A.2d 808, 809 (Del. 1994). 2 Julian v. State, 440 A.2d 990, 991 (Del. 1982).
