In this juvenile proceeding the respondent child was accused of murdering his sister. Prior to a hearing on a petition filed pursuant to ORS 419.476 and 419.482, he moved to suppress evidence of the results of a luminol test administered to determine the presence of blood and subsequent statements made by the juvenile to the authorities. After an evidentiary hearing on the motion, the juvenile court allowed the motion in toto. The state has appealed, as if it were appealing a suppression order under ORS 138.060(3). Respondent has not raised the issue of whether the state is entitled to appeal, but we are obligated to determine whether we have jurisdiction. Hermiston v. ERB, 280 Or 291, 570 P2d 663 (1977).

ORS 419.561(1) and (4) provide:

"(1) Any person whose right or duties are adversely affected by a final order of the juvenile court may appeal therefrom. An appeal from a circuit court shall be taken to the Court of Appeals, and an appeal from a county court shall be taken to the circuit court.

"(4) An appeal to the Court of Appeals shall be conducted in the same manner as an appeal in an equity suit and shall be advanced on the court’s docket in the same manner as appeals in criminal cases.”

There are no other provisions for appeal from juvenile court. The order of suppression was not in any sense a final order, and it was not appealable. If this result illuminates a defect in the law applicable to juveniles, rectification is a legislative responsibility.^[1]

Appeal dismissed.
