O R D E R 
 
 
This 28th day of June 2006, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties, the 
record in this case, and their contentions in oral argument, it appears to the Court that the 
judgment of the Court of Chancery granting summary judgment in favor of defendants, 
Donald W. Shipp, Jr. and Susan S. Spencer, and against the plaintiff, Haralambos Hionis, 
should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons set forth by the Court of Chancery 
in its well-reasoned decision dated June 16, 2005.*   
 
                                          
 
* We reject the appellant’s claim that the evidence was insufficient to support an award of 
summary judgment.  The affidavit relied upon by the Court of Chancery contained 
uncontroverted material facts that support the Court of Chancery’s ruling.  Because there were 
no disputes of material fact, summary judgment was appropriate.  DEL. CH. CT. R. 56(c). 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of 
Chancery is AFFIRMED.
