ORDER

This 12* day of December 2016, this Court has considered this matter on the
briefs and oral arguments by the parties and the supplemental filings on the question
of mootness, We have conclude that this matter should be affirmed on the basis of
the Superior Court's April 15, 2015 opinion, with one exception: the complaint
should not have been dismissed with prejudice but rather with leave to file an
amended complaint. In reaching that conclusion we do not decide the question of
mootness but leave the matter for the Superior Court, if an amended complaint is

filed and that issue is raised.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the
Superior Court is affirmed, except not with prejudice but with leave to file an
amended complaint. This matter is remanded for further proceedings in accordance
with this order.

BY THE COURT:

Rady Pte Ward
