O R D E R 
 
This 12th day of November 2002, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The defendant-appellant, Bell Atlantic-Delaware, Inc., has petitioned 
this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from an 
interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated October 16, 2002.  The Superior 
Court’s decision, among other things, denied Bell Atlantic’s motion to dismiss due 
to insufficiency of service of process.   
(2) 
The Superior Court denied Bell Atlantic’s application for certification 
to take an interlocutory appeal. 
 
 
-2-
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of this Court.  In the exercise of its discretion, this Court has concluded 
that the application for interlocutory review does not meet the requirements of 
Supreme Court Rule 42(b) and should be refused. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the within 
interlocutory appeal is REFUSED .   
BY THE COURT:
