O R D E R
This 2nd day of March 2004, this Court having carefully considered the separate
decisions of the Superior Court dated July 16, 2003 and the contentions of the parties
on this appeal with respect thereto as set forth in their briefs and at oral argument held
on January 6, 2004, it appears that the Superior Court correctly granted the motions
for summary judgment of Defendants Premark International, Inc., Florida Tile
Industries, Inc., and Illinois Tool Works, Inc.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgments of the Superior
Court dated July 16, 2003, are AFFIRMED on the basis of and for the reasons set
forth in the separate, contemporaneous and well-reasoned opinions of the Superior
Court of the same date.
BY THE COURT:
/s/ E. Norman Veasey
          Chief Justice
