O R D E R 
 
This 24th day of April 2003, the Court having considered this matter has 
determined that it is manifest on the face that the appeal is without merit 
because:  to the extent the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record 
evidence supports the trial judge’s factual findings; to the extent the errors 
alleged on appeal are attributed to an abuse of discretion, the record does not 
support those assertions; and to the extent that the issues raised on appeal are 
legal, they are controlled by settled Delaware law, which was properly applied. 
 Therefore, this Court has concluded that the judgment of the final judgment of 
the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of and for the reasons 
assigned by the Superior Court in its decision dated May 31, 2002. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of 
the Superior Court be, and the same hereby is, AFFIRMED.
