                                   Decided: May 14, 2015


Before STRINE, Chief Justice; HOLLAND and VALIHURA, Justices.

                                         ORDER
         The sole claim raised by the appellant in this appeal is that the Superior

Court erred by instructing the jury that if it concluded that the appellee, Scott

Slover, was in an emergency situation, the circumstances of that situation should

be taken into account in determining whether Slover breached the relevant standard

of care. For the reasons articulated by the Superior Court in its memorandum

opinion dated August 12, 2014 denying appellant’s motion for a new trial,1 the

Superior Court’s decision to issue the jury instruction was proper.
