O R D E R 
 
 
This 5th day of March 2003, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The appellant has filed a notice of appeal from a decision of a 
Superior Court Commissioner, dated February 10, 2003, denying his motion 
for appointment of counsel. A Commissioner’s order is not a final judgment 
for purposes of appeal to this Court.1  A party’s right of review from a 
Superior Court Commissioner’s order shall be to a judge of the Superior 
Court.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 
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.
