JERRY JOHNSON, 
Defendant Below, 
Appellant, 
v. 
STATE OF DELAWARE, 
Plaintiff Below, 
Appellee. 
No. 533, 2004 
 
Court Below:  Family Court of 
the State of Delaware in and 
for New Castle County 
File Nos. 0405000401 and 
0406004498 
 
 
O R D E R 
 
This 31st day of December 2004, it appears to the Court that on December 9, 
2004, the Clerk issued a notice to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(b) and 10 Del. C. § 1051, for this Court’s lack of 
jurisdiction to entertain an appeal of a criminal matter, in the first instance, from 
Family Court.  The appellant has failed to respond to the notice to show cause within 
the required ten-day period; therefore, dismissal of this action is deemed to be 
unopposed. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b) and 29(b), that the within appeal is DISMISSED. 
 
BY THE COURT: 
 
/s/ Myron T. Steele 
Chief Justice
