In re Tyriq. T.

Summary

The court held that an order transferring a juvenile case from the juvenile docket to the regular criminal docket under the discretionary transfer provision is not a final judgment immediately appealable. Although the current statutory text is ambiguous, the statute’s legislative history, subsequent amendments, and the need for a coherent transfer scheme establish that the legislature intended to prohibit interlocutory appeals. The court therefore affirmed the Appellate Court’s dismissal for lack of a final judgment.
