JAMES M. CROWHORN, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, Plaintiff Below-Appellant, v. NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant Below-Appellee. No. 530, 2002 In the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. Submitted: October 10, 2002 Decided: October 18, 2002
Before WALSH, HOLLAND, and BERGER, Justices.
Randy J. Holland, Justice:
ORDER
This 18th day of October 2002, it appears to the Court that:
(1) The plaintiff below, James Crowhorn, has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an interlocutory ruling of the Superior Court dated September 3, 2002. The Superior Court's ruling denied Crowhorn's motion for judicial reassignment or recusal of the trial judge in his case.
(2) On October 3, 2002, the Superior Court denied Crowhorn's application 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.
