O R D E R  
 
 
This 7th day of May 2012, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) The defendant-appellant, AMEC E & I, Inc. (the “appellant”), 
has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an 
appeal from the interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated March 29, 
2012, which denied the appellant’s motion to dismiss the complaint filed by 
the Delaware Department of Transportation on statute of limitations 
grounds.

(2) The appellant filed its application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on April 5, 2012.  On April 24, 
2012, 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 appellant’s 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.
