IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE

MATTHEW JONES, § § No. 279, 2017 Respondent Below, § Appellant, § § v. § Court Below: Superior Court § of the State of Delaware STATE OF DELAWARE, § § C.A. No. S17I-00670 Petitioner Below, § Appellee. §

Before VAUGHN, SEITZ, and TRAYNOR, Justices.

ORDER

This 3rd day of August 2017, the Court has considered the notice to show cause

and the appellant’s response. The appellant purports to appeal from a hearing held

by a Superior Court Commissioner on June 23, 2017. The Superior Court

Commissioner continued the June 23 hearing until July 28, 2017, over the

appellant’s objection. Although the appellant attempted to file an amended notice

of appeal from an interlocutory order under Supreme Court Rule 42, this Court has

no jurisdiction to hear any appeal directly from a Superior Court Commissioner’s

order.1 Accordingly, this appeal must be dismissed.

1 Johnson v. State, 884 A.2d 475, 479 (Del. 2005). NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this appeal is DISMISSED. The

motion to proceed in forma pauperis is moot.

BY THE COURT:
