O R D E R
This 24th day of April 2001, the Court, having carefully considered the
decisions and judgment of the Superior Court dated May 6, 1999, and April 27,
2000, together with the briefs of the parties and their contentions in oral argument,
has determined as follows:
- 2 -
To the extent that (a) the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record
evidence supports the trial court’s factual findings; (b) the errors alleged on appeal
are attributed to an abuse of discretion, the record does not support those assertions;
(c) the issues raised on appeal are legal, they are controlled by settled Delaware law,
which was properly applied.  
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior
Court is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
      
 /s/ E. Norman Veasey                    
             Chief Justice
