District of Columbia Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court
OBERLY, Associate Judge:
Rule 3 of the rules of this court requires very little information that must be specified in a notice of appeal from a judgment or order of the Superior Court. In fact, it requires only two things: specification of “the party or parties taking the appeal,” which is done by “naming each one in the caption or body of the notice,” and designation of “the judgment, order, or part thereof being appealed.” D.CApp. Rule (3)(c)(l)(A) and (B). Because the notice of appeal in this case did not comply with the first requirement, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
