O R D E R 
 
This 30th day of November 2011, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
On November 7, 2011, the Clerk issued a notice directing that 
the appellants show cause why the above-captioned appeal should not be 
dismissed as an unauthorized interlocutory appeal.  Similarly, on November 
11, 2011, the appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal “without 
prejudice” to the filing of an appeal once a final order issued. 
(2) 
On November 28, 2011, the appellants filed a voluntary 
dismissal conceding that dismissal of this appeal is appropriate.  By separate 
 
2
letter, the appellants requested that the Court apply their filing fee “to a 
future appeal of the same case.”* 
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 29(a), this 
appeal is voluntarily DISMISSED without prejudice.  The notice to show 
cause and motion to dismiss are moot.   
IT IS ORDERED that the appellants’ filing fee in this appeal shall be 
applied to a future appeal filed by the appellants from the Court of 
Chancery’s final order.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
BY THE COURT: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
/s/ Jack B. Jacobs  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
         Justice 
                                          
 
* It appears from the docket that the Court of Chancery issued its final order on 
November 23, 2011.  Therefore, if the appellants intend to appeal they must file a new 
notice of appeal with this Court within thirty days of November 23, 2011.  See Del. Supr. 
Ct. R. 6 (governing time for filing appeals).
