This 16th day of October 2006, it appears to the Court that:

(1) In the underlying Superior Court subrogation action, the defendant, The
Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”), fled a motion for summary judgment on the basis thatthe
plaintiff, Nationwide General Insurance Company (“Nationwide”), had initiated the
cause of action after the expiration of the three-year statute of limitations, By
‘memorandum opinion and order dated September 18, 2006 ("the September 18 order"),
the Superior Court denied Hertz’ motion for summary judgment.

(2) On September 22, 2006, Hertz filed a notice of appeal from interlocutory

order pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42. The notice indicated that Hertz had applied
to the Superior Court for certification of the September 18 order.’ By order dated
September 26, 2006, the Superior Court denied Hertz! application for certification,
Hertz! supplemental notice of interlocutory appeal followed.?

(3) Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound
discretion of this Court.’ The Court concludes, in the exercise of discretion, thatthe
September 18 order does not fit the requirements and criteria for accepting an
interlocutory appeal.*

is REFUSED,
