O R D E R
This  12th day of July 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The defendants below, Prison Health Services, Inc. and America
Service Group, Inc. (collectively “PHS”), have petitioned this Court, pursuant to
Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an interlocutory ruling of the Court of
Chancery dated June 8, 2001.  The Court of Chancery’s ruling denied PHS’s
motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
(2)
On July 3, 2001, the Court of Chancery granted PHS’s application
to certify an interlocutory appeal to this Court.
-2-
(3)
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound
discretion of this Court and are granted only in extraordinary cases.
(4)
In the exercise of its discretion, this Court has concluded that the
application for interlocutory review does not meet the requirements of Supreme
Court Rule 42(b) and should be refused.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the within
interlocutory appeal is REFUSED.
BY THE COURT:
