CAROLYN BERGER, Justice:
This 13th day of April, 2000, it appears to the Court that:
1) The defendant-appellant, Stifel Financial Corp., has petitioned this Court, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 42, to appeal from the portion of an interlocutory order issued by the Court of Chancery on March 8, 2000, relating to the statute of limitations.
2) On April 6, 2000, the Court of Chancery denied certification of Stifel Financial Corporation's petition 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.
