This 12th day of September 2012, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The defendant below, American Capital Ltd. (ACL), has petitioned 
this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from an 
interlocutory order of the Superior Court dated July 26, 2012.  The Superior 
Court’s order granted in part and denied in part ACL’s motion to dismiss the 
plaintiff’s second amended complaint. 
(2) 
ACL filed its application for certification to take an interlocutory 
appeal in the Superior Court on August 6, 2012.  The Superior Court denied the 
certification application on September 4, 2012.

(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 ORDERED that the within interlocutory appeal 
is hereby REFUSED.
