ORDER 
 
(1) 
The appellant, Lance Kollore, filed this appeal from an order of a 
Superior Court Commissioner designating Kollore as a Tier III sex offender under 
11 Del. C. §§ 4121-22.  The office of the Clerk of this Court issued a notice directing 
Kollore to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed based on the Court’s 
lack of jurisdiction to consider an appeal taken directly from a Superior Court 
Commissioner’s order.  Postal records indicate that the notice to show cause was 
delivered on July 20, 2023.  The appellant did not respond to the notice within the  
required ten-day period.  For that reason, the Court could dismiss the appeal as 
unopposed.1

(2) 
The Court did receive an opening brief from Kollore on July 27, 2023.  
To the extent that Kollore intended that document to be a response to the notice to 
show cause, it does not address this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to consider an appeal 
from a Superior Court Commissioner’s order.  “The right of review of a Superior 
Court Commissioner’s order is to a judge of the Superior Court.  In the absence of 
intermediate review by a Superior Court judge, this Court is without jurisdiction to 
hear an appeal from any action taken by a Commissioner.”2 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rule 29(b), 
that the appeal is DISMISSED.
