O R D E R
This 24th day of May 2001, it appears to the Court that:
(1)
The plaintiff below, Wilmington Hospitality, LLC (“WH”), has
petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an
interlocutory ruling of the Court of Chancery dated April 12, 2001.  The Court of
Chancery’s ruling denied WH’s motion to enforce a settlement agreement, which
WH contends that it had entered into with the intervenor-plaintiff below, Republic
Bank. The defendant in the underlying action below, New Castle County, has not
been named as a party to this appeal.
-2-
(2)
On May 10, 2001, in a well-reasoned, seven-page order, the Court of
Chancery refused 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/ E. Norman Veasey
Chief Justice
