ORDER 
 
 
After consideration of the notice of interlocutory appeal, the supplemental 
notice of interlocutory appeal, and their exhibits, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
On August 23, 2023, the appellant, Laura Perryman, filed a notice of 
an interlocutory appeal from the Court of Chancery’s August 14, 2023 order 
declining to stay the underlying proceedings (the “Order”).  The Court of Chancery 
denied Perryman’s application the next day, finding that the Order did not determine 
an issue of material importance and that none of the Supreme Court Rule 42(b)(iii) 
factors supported interlocutory review.  On September 13, 2023, Perryman filed a 
supplemental notice of appeal, to which she attached the Order and the Court of 
2 
 
Chancery’s order denying her application for the certification of an interlocutory 
appeal.1 
(2) 
We agree with the Court of Chancery that interlocutory review is 
unwarranted in this case: the Order did not decide an issue of material importance 
and none of the Rule 42(b)(iii) factors weigh in favor of certification.   
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the interlocutory appeal is 
DISMISSED.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
BY THE COURT:

Justice 
 
 
1 Perryman failed to attach other necessary documents to the notice (or supplemental notice) of 
appeal—that is, her application for certification or Curonix’s response—as required by Rule 
42(d)(iv).
