ORDER
This 4th day of November 2002, it appears to the Court that:
(1) Defendant Ash Grove Cement Company ("Ash Grove") has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from an interlocutory ruling of the Court of Chancery dated September 24, 2002. The Court of Chancery's ruling denied defendants' motion to characterize the action below as a derivative action.
(2) On October 21, 2002, the Court of Chancery denied Ash Grove'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.
