ORDER 
 
 
This 20th day of March 2003, it appears to the Court that:  
 
(1) 
The appellants of the above captioned cause of action have filed 
an application for this Court to accept their case for interlocutory review.  
 
(2) 
The Superior Court declined to certify the case for interlocutory 
review. This Court has considered the memorandum opinion of the Superior 
Court on the merits, the order of the Superior Court declining to certify the 
matter for interlocutory review, and the submissions to this Court by the 
parties.  
 
(3) 
Applications for interlocutory review are addressed to the 
sound discretion of this Court and are accepted only in extraordinary 
circumstances. 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 and should be refused.  
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the 
application for interlocutory review in this matter be, and the same is hereby 
REFUSED.
