Before HOLLAND, BERGER and STEELE, Justices
O R D E R
This 8th day of April 2003, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The appellant filed a notice of appeal from a Superior Court
arbitrator’s order filed January 30, 2003.  An arbitrator’s order is not a final
judgment for purposes of appeal to this Court.1  The sole remedy for any party
in any action subject to arbitration is a demand for a trial de novo.2
(2)
The Court concludes that this appeal manifestly fails on its face to
invoke the Court’s appellate jurisdiction.  We further conclude that giving
3SUPR. CT. R. 29(c).
-2-
notice of the defect would serve no meaningful purpose and that any response
would be of no avail.3
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is DISMISSED
sua sponte.
