O R D E R  
 
 
This 15th day of July 2010, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
The defendants-appellants, F. Tropea Building Contractor, 
LLC, and Holiday Park, LLC (the “appellants”), have petitioned this Court, 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from the 
interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated June 4, 2010, which 
permitted the intervenor-appellee, River Asphalt, LLC, to intervene in 
Superior Court C.A. No. S06L-12-036.   
 
2 
 
(2) 
The appellants filed their application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on June 18, 2010.  On July 7, 
2010, the Superior Court denied the certification application on the ground 
that the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 42 had not 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 appellants’ application for interlocutory review fails to 
meet the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 42 and, therefore, should be 
refused. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the interlocutory appeal 
is REFUSED.
