This 9th day of November 2009, upon consideration of the appellants’ 
amended notice and amended supplemental notice of appeal from an 
interlocutory order, it appears to the Court that: 
 
2
 
(1) 
The appellants have petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme 
Court Rule 42, to appeal from the Superior Court’s opinion dated September 
30, 2009, that denied the appellants’ motion to dismiss.1  On October 29, 
2009, the Superior Court denied the appellants’ application for certification 
of an interlocutory appeal. 
 
 
(2) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the 
sound discretion of this Court and are granted only in exceptional 
circumstances.2  In the exercise of its discretion, the Court has concluded 
that exceptional circumstances as would merit interlocutory review of the 
Superior Court’s September 30, 2009 opinion do not exist in this case. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 
interlocutory appeal is REFUSED.

1 The Superior Court denied the motion to dismiss as to claims of mutual mistake and 
unilateral mistake and granted the motion as to an unjust enrichment claim.  American
