IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE JEFF D’AMBROSIO IMPORTS § INC., d/b/a JEFF D’AMBROSIO § No. 379, 2026 CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, § § Court Below–Superior Court Defendant Below, § of the State of Delaware Appellant, § § C.A. No. N26C-03-323 v. § § DELBORRELLO FINANCIAL § SERVICES DE LLC d/b/a § UNITED CHECK CASHING, § § Plaintiff Below, § Appellee. § Submitted: September 9, 2026 Decided: October 5, 2026 Before TRAYNOR, LEGROW, and GRIFFITHS, Justices. ORDER After consideration of the notice to show cause and the parties’ responses, it appears to the Court that: (1) The appellant filed this appeal from a Superior Court commissioner’s order denying the appellant’s motion to vacate a default judgment entered in favor of the appellee. The Senior Court Clerk issued a notice to the appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear an appeal taken directly from a Superior Court commissioner’s order. (2) In its response to the notice to show cause, the appellant notes that the commissioner’s order was case dispositive and asks the Court to remand the matter for further proceedings under Superior Court Civil Rule 132. At the Court’s request, the appellee also responded to the notice to show cause and argues that the commissioner’s order was not a final, appealable order. (3) It is well settled that this Court does not have jurisdiction to hear an appeal taken directly from an order issued by a Superior Court commissioner. A party’s right to appeal a commissioner’s order is to a judge of the Superior Court.1 This appeal therefore must be dismissed. We note that the appellant may move under Rule 132(c) for an enlargement of time to file objections to the commissioner’s order. Should the appellant do so, we leave it to the Superior Court to decide in the first instance whether to grant such a motion. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is DISMISSED under Supreme Court Rule 29(b). BY THE COURT: /s/ Abigail M. LeGrow Justice 1 Browne v. State Farm Inc., 2022 WL 5073767, at *1 (Del. Oct. 4, 2022) (citing Johnson v. State, 884 A.2d 475, 478-79 (Del. 2005) and Del. Super. Ct. Civ. R. 132(a)(4)). 2
