O R D E R 
 
This 2nd day of May 2005, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
The 
defendant 
below, 
Catawba 
Associates-Christiana, 
has 
petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an 
interlocutory ruling of the Superior Court dated February 23, 2005.  The 
Superior Court=s ruling granted the State’s motion in limine to preclude the 
report and testimony of Catawba’s appraisal expert in the pending condemnation 
action. 
 
 
-2- 
(2) 
On April 11, 2005, the Superior Court denied Catawba=s application 
to certify an interlocutory appeal to this Court. 
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of this Court and are granted only in extraordinary cases. 
(4) 
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.   
BY THE COURT: 
 
                                                              /s/ Jack B. Jacobs
