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.
