ORDER

After careful consideration of the parties’ briefs and the record on appeal, we

conclude that the Superior Court’s judgment should be affirmed on the basis of the

court’s well-reasoned decision of March 8, 2018.* The Superior Court properly

granted summary judgment as a matter of law to the defendant-below/appellee,

Christiana Care Health Services, Inc., following the court’s determination that the

plaintiff-below/appellant, Manuela Ortiz-Quinones, had failed to support an

essential element of her medical negligence claim.

* 2018 WL 1225731 (Del. Super. Ct. Mar. 8, 2018). NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior

Court is AFFIRMED.

BY THE COURT:
