                          Decided:   April 25, 2017

Before STRINE, Chief Justice; VALIHURA and SEITZ, Justices.

                                     ORDER

      This 25th day of April 2017, it appears to the Court that:

      (1)    On March 31, 2017, the appellant, Duane Rollins, filed a notice of

appeal from a March 2, 2017, Superior Court order denying his motion for

appointment of counsel, which he filed in connection with his first and second

motions for postconviction relief. The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice to show

cause directing Rollins to show why his appeal should not be dismissed based on

this Court’s lack of jurisdiction under Article IV, § 11(1)(b) of the Delaware

Constitution to hear an interlocutory appeal in a criminal case. In his response to

the notice to show cause, Rollins argues review would serve the interests of justice.
       (2)    Under the Delaware Constitution, this Court may review only a final

judgment in a criminal case.1 The Superior Court’s denial of Rollins’ motion to

compel is an interlocutory, not final, order.2 This Court therefore does not have

jurisdiction to review this appeal.3

       NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rule 29(b),

that this appeal is DISMISSED.

                                                 BY THE COURT:
                                                 /s/ Leo E. Strine, Jr.
                                                 Chief Justice
