This 11th day of June 2018, upon consideration of the notice of interlocutory 
appeal, it appears to the Court that: 
(1) 
On May 30, 2018, the appellant, Joseph Daniel Pirestani, filed a notice 
of interlocutory appeal from Court of Chancery order, dated March 27, 2018, 
denying his motion for a jury trial and a Court of Chancery order, dated April 30, 
2018, denying his motion for reargument of the March 27, 2018 order.  Pirestani 
2 
 
filed an application for certification of an interlocutory appeal on May 10, 2018.  The 
Court of Chancery denied the application for certification on May 18, 2018.  
(2) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the sound 
discretion of the Court1 and are granted only in exceptional circumstances.2  In the 
exercise of our discretion, we have concluded that the application for interlocutory 
review does not meet the strict standards for certification under Supreme Court Rule 
42(b) and should be refused. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the interlocutory 
appeal is REFUSED.
