O R D E R 
 
This 13th day of March 2006, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The respondent-appellant, Jamal Shufler, has petitioned this Court, 
pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to accept an appeal from an interlocutory 
order of the Family Court, dated January 10, 2006, which addressed the procedure 
used for interviewing the parties’ children.   
(2) 
Respondent filed his application for certification to take an 
interlocutory appeal in the Family Court on January 30, 2006.  The Family Court 
denied the certification application on March 1, 2006. 
                                                 
1 Under Supreme Court Rule 7(d) the names of the parties have been replaced with pseudonyms.

(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 HEREBY ORDERED that the within 
interlocutory appeal is REFUSED.
