O R D E R 
 
This 18th day of March 2014, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The plaintiffs-appellants, Gatz Properties LLC and William A. Gatz, 
have petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal 
from an interlocutory order of the Superior Court, dated February 11, 2014, which 
denied the appellants’ motion to compel production of documents. 
(2) 
The appellants filed their application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on February 20, 2014.  The Superior 
 
 
-2-
Court denied the certification application on March 10, 2014 and issued a revised 
order denying the certification application on March 11, 2014. 
(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 be REFUSED.
