Interlocutory order—failure to show grounds for appellate review—release of underlying claim

Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the fifth appeal from an interlocutory order entered by the Business Court where, as was the case in his previous four appeals, appellant failed to demonstrate grounds for appellate review and instead advanced arguments that were unrelated to the Court's jurisdiction. Notably, the arguments that appellant did raise neither addressed the opposing party's main argument in the underlying action nor cured the fact that appellant had already released his claim giving rise to the action. The Court also cautioned appellant that he could face sanctions in the future if he continued to flout the Rules of Appellate Procedure and show disregard for the Court's time and resources.
