O R D E R
This 4th day of May 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The appellant below, Johnnie Haines, has petitioned this Court,
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an interlocutory order of the
Superior Court dated March 26, 2001.  The Superior Court’s order granted Haines’
motion to dismiss in part but remanded the matter back to the Industrial Accident
Board for further proceedings.
(2)
On April 3, 2001, the Superior Court refused 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:
/s/ E. Norman Veasey
Chief Justice
