Before VALIHURA, VAUGHN, and TRAYNOR, Justices.

                                      ORDER

      After consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, we

conclude that the judgment below should be affirmed on the basis of the Court of

Chancery’s order, entered February 23, 2022 (the “Final Judgment”). The Final

Judgment denied the appellant’s exceptions to, and adopted, a Master in Chancery’s

Final Report, issued October 26, 2021, which granted the appellees’ motion to

dismiss their own petition under Court of Chancery Rule 41(a)(2), in the absence of

any properly pleaded counterclaims.

      NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that judgment of the Court of

Chancery is AFFIRMED.

                                      BY THE COURT:

                                      /s/ James T. Vaughn, Jr.
                                      Justice
