Reasons
Per Cynthia A. Fry, Chief Judge (Celia Foy Castillo and Robert E. Robles, JJ., concurring):
The Court determined that the appeal must be dismissed because there was no final order issued by the District Court, as required for appellate jurisdiction. The Respondent-Appellant agreed with the proposed dismissal and requested that the record proper be retained for any future appeal. The Court granted this request, noting that in any subsequent appeal, the Respondent-Appellant would need to file a new notice of appeal, a docketing statement, and supplement the record in accordance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
