O R D E R 
This 9th day of April 2014, the Court, having considered this matter on the 
briefs of the parties, has concluded that the Superior Court did not abuse its 
discretion when it granted the motion to dismiss the complaint due to the repeated 
failure by the plaintiffs, Richard J. Logiovino and Kortney Logiovino, to comply 
with discovery requests, attend depositions, or otherwise prosecute their case in a 
manner consistent with the Superior Court’s scheduling order and discovery 
sanctions orders.  The judgment of the Superior Court should therefore be affirmed 
on the basis of and for the reasons assigned by the Superior Court in its ruling and 
Order dated October 13, 2013. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the 
Superior Court be, and the same hereby is, AFFIRMED.
