O R D E R 
 
After consideration of the notice of appeal from interlocutory orders and the 
documents attached thereto, the interlocutory appeal is refused for the reasons stated 
in the Court’s order dated January 27, 2022, in Melpar, LLC v. State ex rel. Secretary 
of Department of Transportation, 9, 2022 (Del. Jan. 27, 2022).  To the extent that 
the second application for certification of interlocutory appeal raises additional 
issues—including relating to the Superior Court’s decision regarding the appellant’s 
request for an evidentiary hearing and the application of “Superior Court Civil Rule 
71.1 and bad faith/fraud/abuse of discretion”—this Court has concluded, in the 
2 
 
exercise of its discretion, that the application for interlocutory review should be 
refused.   
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the interlocutory appeal is 
REFUSED.
