12/22/2005RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE- to court order 12/14/05
12/27/2005 ORDERED that this appeal is hereby dismissed for lack of jurisdicjtion as haivng been untimely filed to the extent that it seeks review of the underlying judgment and commitment order issued on June 29, 2005. The appellant is incorrect in asserting that the Superior Court's denial of his motion to reduce sentence is the final judgement in this case. See Butler v. United States, 379 A.2d 948, 949 (D,C, 1977) (citation omitted). Moreover, the motion to reduce did not toll the time for noting an appeal to this court. See Jackson v. United States, 626 A.2d 878 (D.C. 1993). It is F/ORDERED that dismissal of this appeal is without prejudice to appellant asking that the Superior Court vacate and reenter its judgment and commitment order so as to allow a new appeal. See Williams v. United States, 783 A.2d 598 (D.C. 2001) (en banc). (TEGLST)
