O R D E R
This 27th day of November, 2001, the Court, having carefully considered the
decision and judgment of the Superior Court dated March 16, 2001, together with
the briefs of the parties, has determined as follows:
To the extent that (a) the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record
evidence supports the trial judge’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:
