OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court is Appellant Laura Cooper's Appeal of a decision rendered by the Industrial Accident Board. Pursuant to 19 Del C. § 2349, the proper jurisdiction for an appeal of an Industrial Accident Board decision is in the county where the injury occurred. Upon reviewing the Appellant's Opening Brief and Appellee's Answering Brief, the Court has determined the injury occurred in Sussex County, thereby rendering the proper jurisdiction for this appeal within the Superior Court of the State of Delaware in and for Sussex County. Accordingly, this Court is without jurisdiction to hear the matter, and it shall be TRANSFERRED if the Appellant files in compliance with 10 Del. C. § 1902 to do so; otherwise, the matter shall be DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
