O R D E R
This 6th day of May 2002, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The pro se appellant, Darren May, filed this appeal from an
order entered on January 28, 2002, in the Family Court, in an adult criminal
matter.  This Court lacks jurisdiction to consider an appeal directly from the
Family Court in an adult criminal matter.1  An appeal from the Family Court
in an adult criminal matter is taken, in the first instance, to the Superior
2Id.
2
Court, with the further right of appeal as provided by law to the Supreme
Court.2
(2)
The Court has concluded, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c),
that the notice of appeal, on its face, manifestly fails to invoke the Court’s
jurisdiction.  In the exercise of its discretion, the Court has determined that
a notice of dismissal would serve no meaningful purpose, and that any
response to a notice of dismissal would be of no avail.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED, sua
sponte, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(c). 
BY THE COURT:
s/Joseph T. Walsh
                Justice
