O R D E R 
 
This 22nd day of November 2005, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
On November 14, 2005, the defendant, Dwight H. Perkins, filed 
a pro se notice of appeal, purporting to appeal from a decision of the 
Superior Court, dated October 18, 2005, which denied Perkins’ Motion to 
Dismiss Indictment, Motion to Disqualify Counsel and Motion to Participate 
with Counsel. 
(2) 
Under the Delaware Constitution, only a final judgment may be 
reviewed by this Court in a criminal case.*   The Superior Court reflects that 
                                                 
*  DEL. CONST. ART. IV, § 11(1)(b). 
 
 
-2-
Perkins’ criminal trial is scheduled for January 2006.  Consequently, his 
appeal manifestly fails to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court.   
(3) 
The Court has concluded, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 
29(c), that the appeal, on its face, manifestly fails to invoke this Court’s 
jurisdiction and that, in the exercise of the Court’s discretion, the giving of 
notice of dismissal would serve no meaningful purpose and that any 
response thereto would be of no avail. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rules 6 and 29(c), that the within appeal is DISMISSED sua sponte.
