O R D E R
This 28th day of December, 2010, on consideration of the briefs of the parties,
it appears to the Court that:
(1) This is appellants’ fifth appeal in six years relating to vacant property fees 
assessed by the City of Wilmington.  The Superior Court determined that three claims
were barred on the ground of res judicata and collateral estoppel.  The trial court held
that the remaining claims lacked merit.
(2) Appellants moved for reargument, but their motion was denied as untimely.
(3) After carefully considering appellants’ arguments on appeal, we conclude
that the judgments of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of its well-
reasoned decisions dated March 31, 2010 and May 28, 2010.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgments of the
Superior Court be, and the same hereby are, AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ Carolyn Berger
Justice
