Description
HORSEY, Justice: Following briefing and oral argument on September 13, 1988 on the merits of this appeal from a decision and order of the
Court of Chancery, this Court issued a notice to show cause, by Order dated September 22, 1988. The Order directed the shareholder
plaintiffs of Milliken Enterprises, Inc. ("Milliken"), a Delaware corporation, to show cause why the appeal should not be
dismissed on alternate grounds: that the matter at issue does not involve an actual case or controversy; or, that the parties
improperly seek an advisory opinion; or, that the appeal is taken from an interlocutory order without compliance with Supreme
Court Rule 42(c) and (d). These issues were raised sua sponte by the Court at oral argument and were the subject of an exchange
of supplemental memoranda by the parties. For the reasons which follow, we find the Court of Chancery to have rendered an
advisory opinion and, accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
