[1] ORDER
[2] This matter came before a panel of the Supreme Court on December 21, 1993 pursuant to an order requiring both parties to appear and to show cause why the plaintiffs' appear should not be summarily decided.
[3] The plaintiffs appeal from a Superior Court judgment entered in favor of Allstate Insurance Company. After hearing the arguments of counsel and reviewing the memoranda submitted by the parties, it is the conclusion of this court that cause has not been shown. "An uninsured/underinsured motorist policy limit may not be expanded to include prejudgment interest even though the injured party may be entitled to recover such prejudgment interest from the tortfeasor." Allstate Insurance Co. v.Pogorilich, 605 A.2d 1318, 1321 (R.I. 1992).
[4] The ruling of the trial justice is affirmed and the plaintiffs' appeal is denied and dismissed.
