ORDER
This 20   day of November, 2006, having considered the briefs and arguments
th
of the parties, it appears to the Court that:
1) This is an appeal from an order of the Superior Court dismissing one of  two
defendants in a medical malpractice action.
2) “At common law a judgment dismissing [an] action against one of several
defendants jointly liable [is] not a final judgment.”

governing appeals from interlocutory orders.  Accordingly, this Court lacks
jurisdiction to consider this appeal.2
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned action be, and
the same hereby is, DISMISSED.
                         BY THE COURT:
