O R D E R
This 7th day of August 2001, it appears to the Court that:
1.
On July 25, 2001, the appellant, appearing pro se, filed a notice of
appeal from the interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated June 29, 2001,
wherein the jury returned a verdict of guilty on three counts of a criminal
indictment.
2.
Under the Delaware Constitution, only a final judgment may be
reviewed by this Court in a criminal case.  Del Const. Art. IV,  11(1)(b).  A
judgment is not final in a criminal case until a defendant has been sentenced.
 Eller v. State, Del. Supr., 531 A.2d 951, 052 (1987).  As a result, this Court
2
does not have jurisdiction to review Honie’s interlocutory appeal in this matter.
 Rash v. State, Del Supr., 318 A.2d 603, (1974); State v. Cooley, Del. Supr., 430
A.2d 789, (1981).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED,
sua sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c).
BY THE COURT:
