OPINION OF THE COURT
(July 5, 2013)
Hodge, Chief Justice.
K.J.F., a minor, appeals from a March 9, 2013 Order issued by the Family Division of Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, which directed that he be transferred to the Criminal Division. We reject KJ.F.’s arguments regarding the jurisdiction of the Superior Court, the sufficiency of the evidence as to his age, and the trial court’s order committing him to the custody of the Department of Human Services. We decline to reach his Eighth Amendment challenge because it is not yet ripe. For these reasons, we affirm the Transfer Order.
