IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE PRENTICE L. TRIPLETT, Defendant Below, Appellant, v. STATE OF DELAWARE, Plaintiff Below, Appellee. § § § § § § § § § § § No. 531, 2006 Court Below--Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County Cr. ID No. 0510016383 Submitted: September 29, 2006 Decided: October 20, 2006 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND and BERGER, Justices. ORDER This 20th day of October 2006, upon consideration of the pro se notice of appeal submitted on September 29, 2006, it appears to the Court that: (1) The appellant, Prentice L. Triplett, filed a notice of appeal from the Postconviction Relief R. 61 of the Superior Court. Upon inspection of the appeal papers and the Superior Court docket, it appears that Triplett seeks appellate review of the Prothonotary s memorandum dated September 12, 2006, that provided counsel for the State with a copy of Triplett s recently filed motion for postconviction relief.1 (2) The Court has determined that Triplett s appeal manifestly fails to invoke the jurisdiction of the Court and is subject to involuntary dismissal, sua sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c).2 The Court concludes, in the exercise of discretion, that notice of dismissal to Triplett would serve no meaningful purpose, and that any response from him would be of no avail. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is DISMISSED, sua sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c). BY THE COURT: /s/ Randy J. Holland Justice 1 Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(c)(4) (2006). 2 SeeDel. Const. art. IV, § 11(1)(b) (authorizing appeals only from final judgments in criminal cases). 2
