O R D E R  
 
 
This 22nd day of October 2010, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The non-party/appellant, the Delaware Department of Justice 
(“DDOJ”), has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept 
an appeal from the September 3, 2010 interlocutory order of the Superior Court 
Commissioner, which ordered production of portions of a DDOJ criminal file.  
(2) 
The appellant filed its application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on September 13, 2010.  On September 
27, 2010, the Superior Court denied the certification application. 
2 
 
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of this Court.  In the exercise of its discretion, the Court has concluded 
that the appellants’ application for interlocutory review fails to meet the 
requirements of Rule 42 and, therefore, should be refused. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the interlocutory appeal is 
REFUSED.
