This 14th day of October 2009, upon consideration of the appellant’s opening 
brief and appendix and the Family Court record,2 we conclude that this appeal 
should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons set forth in, the Family 
Court’s order of February 12, 2009, that dismissed the appellant’s petition to 
modify visitation for lack of jurisdiction. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family 
Court be, and the same hereby is, AFFIRMED.
