This 11th day of July 2012, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
The defendant-appellant, Brandywine River Ballroom, LLC 
(the “appellant”), has petitioned this Court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 
42, to accept an appeal from the interlocutory order of the Superior Court 
dated May 29, 2012, which denied its motion to vacate default judgment, 
and the interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated June 21, 2012, which 
denied its motion for reargument.1   
                                                 
1 Defendant Clara A. Smalls is not a participant in this appeal.

(2) 
The appellant filed its application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on June 7, 2012.  On June 20, 
2012, the Superior Court granted the application for certification on the 
ground that the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 42 had been met. 
 
(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 appellant’s 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.2

2 The appellant’s request for a stay pending appeal is hereby denied as moot.
