Before WALSH, HOLLAND and BERGER, Justices
O R D E R
This 15th day of June 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The appellant, Linda Fox, has filed a notice of appeal from an
order entered on May 23, 2001, by the Court of Common Pleas.  This
Court lacks jurisdiction to consider an appeal directly from the Court of
Common Pleas.  Del. Const. art. IV, § 11(1)(b); 10 Del. C. § 1326.
(2)
The Court has determined that this appeal should be
dismissed, sua sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c).  The notice
of appeal, on its face, manifestly fails to invoke the Court’s jurisdiction.
The Court has concluded, in the exercise of its discretion, that a notice of
2
dismissal would serve no meaningful purpose, and that any response to a
notice of dismissal would be of no avail.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that this appeal is
DISMISSED, sua sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c).
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Randy J. Holland
Justice
