Heading: The question posed is whether this court has jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.

Text: Notably, a juvenile court is a division of our unified Iowa District Court. See Code § 602.1. See also §§ 231.1-231.4; 232.2(1). And, Code § 232.62 provides: The criminal court shall have concurrent jurisdiction with the juvenile court over children less than eighteen years of age who commit a criminal offense. Furthermore, an order transferring a cause from one state court to another is ordinarily deemed interlocutory, therefore not final and appealable as of right. See Village of Niles v. Szczesny, 13 Ill.2d 45, 147 N.E.2d 371, 372 (1958); 4 C.J.S. Appeal and Error § 115f at 315. Our holding does not, however, rest upon the foregoing alone. Rather it is a factor considered in resolving the case at hand.
