No. 09A-05-004 Submitted: October 27, 2010 Decided: December 28, 2010 Before STEELE, Chief Justice, BERGER and JACOBS, Justices. ORDER This 28th day of December, 2010, on consideration of the briefs of the parties, it appears to the Court that: (1) This is appellants fifth appeal in six years relating to vacant property fees assessed by the City of Wilmington. The Superior Court determined that three claims were barred on the ground of res judicata and collateral estoppel. The trial court held that the remaining claims lacked merit. (2) Appellants moved for reargument, but their motion was denied as untimely. (3) After carefully considering appellants arguments on appeal, we conclude that the judgments of the Superior Court should be affirmed on the basis of its wellreasoned decisions dated March 31, 2010 and May 28, 2010. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgments of the Superior Court be, and the same hereby are, AFFIRMED. BY THE COURT: /s/ Carolyn Berger Justice 2
