IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE CINDY ROGERS, Respondent Below- Appellant, v. CHARLES WILSON, JR., Petitioner Below- Appellee. § § § No. 270, 2007 § § § Court Below—Family Court § of the State of Delaware, § in and for Sussex County § File No. CS05-02748 § § Submitted: December 21, 2007 Decided: March 11, 2008 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, HOLLAND, and BERGER, Justices. O R D E R This 11th day of March 2008, upon consideration of appellant’s opening brief and the trial record, we find it manifest that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Family Court’s well-reasoned decision dated April 30, 2007. Appellant presented no evidence at trial to contradict appellee’s evidence that the parties had conveyed their ownership interest in the marital home and the lot on which it sat to a third party in 1999. The Family Court did not err in holding that it could not award appellant an interest in property that the parties did not own. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Family Court is AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Randy J. Holland Justice
