This 15th day of October 2002, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The defendant below, Artesian Water Company, Inc. (Artesian), 
has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an 
interlocutory ruling of the Superior Court dated August 29, 2002.  The Superior 
Court’s ruling denied Artesian’s motion for summary judgment. 
(2) 
On October 3, 2002, the Superior Court denied Artesian’s 
application to certify an interlocutory appeal to this Court. 
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of this Court and are granted only in extraordinary cases. 
 
 
-2- 
(4) 
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:
