O R D E R 
 
This 24th day of April 2007, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The plaintiffs-appellants, the Achtermanns, have petitioned this Court, 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from an interlocutory 
order of the Superior Court dated March 22, 2007.  The trial court’s order granted 
the defendants-appellees’ motion for summary judgment. 
 
 
-2-
(2) 
The Achtermanns filed their application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on March 29, 2007.  The Superior Court 
denied the certification application on April 10, 2007. 
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of this Court.  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:
