O R D E R This 7th day of July 2008, it appears to the Court that: (1) The defendant-appellant, Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC, has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from an interlocutory order of the Superior Court, entered May 2, 2008, denying Comcast’s motion for summary judgment. The trial court’s decision held that there were still issues of fact remaining that precluded the entry of summary judgment. -2- (2) Comcast filed its application for certification to take an interlocutory appeal in the Superior Court on May 12, 2008.
