Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND and BERGER, Justices.
O R D E R
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,
Del. Super. Ct. Crim. R. 61(c)(4) (2006).
1
See 
Del. Const. art. IV, § 11(1)(b) (authorizing appeals only from final judgments
2
in criminal cases).
2
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).   The Court concludes, in the
2
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:
