No. 523, 2008.Supreme Court of Delaware.
March 19, 2009.

Court Below — Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, C.A. No. 3185.

Before HOLLAND, BERGER and RIDGELY, Justices.

ORDER
RANDY J. HOLLAND, Justice.

This 19th day of March 2009, upon consideration of the briefs of the parties, it appears to the Court that:

(1) In the underlying Court of Chancery action, The Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation (“the Foundation”) sought to remove Pamela Carvel (“Carvel”) as Delaware ancillary administrator of the estate of Agnes Carvel (“the Estate”). The Foundation is the residuary beneficiary of the Estate.

(2) Carvel has appealed the Court of Chancery’s memorandum opinion of September 30, 2008, that granted summary judgment to the Foundation, removed Carvel as ancillary administrator of the Estate, and denied Carvel’s motion for intermediate accounting and related motions, including her motion for litigation expenses.[1] After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs, we have concluded that the judgment of the Court of Chancery should be affirmed on the basis of, and for the reasons set forth in, the Court’s memorandum opinion of September 30, 2008.[2]

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Court of Chancery is AFFIRMED.
