O R D E R
This 18th day of December 2003, the Court, having  considered the decision and
judgment of the Court of Chancery dated July 8, 2003, and the contentions set forth
in the briefs and oral argument of counsel on appeal, has determined as follows: 
To the extent that (a) the issues raised on appeal are factual, the record evidence
supports the factual findings; (b) the errors alleged on appeal are asserted to be an
- 2 -
abuse of discretion, the record does not support those assertions; (c) it is contended
that the Court of Chancery did not properly apply the decision and mandate of this
Court set forth in its remand decision in Gotham Partners, L.P. v. Hallwood Realty
Partners, L.P., 817 A.2d 160 (Del. 2002), that contention is not supported; and (d) it
is contended that the legal rulings of the Court of Chancery raised on appeal were
erroneous, those issues are controlled by settled Delaware law, which was properly
applied.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of
Chancery is AFFIRMED.
BY THE COURT:
      
/s/ E. Norman Veasey
