ORDER DISMISSING THE COMPLAINT WITH LEAVE TO TRANSFER

Now this 19th day of February, 2024, upon review of Plaintiffs’ Petition for Writ of

Ejectment and statements made by both parties to the Court on Friday, February 16, 2024, it is

obvious to the Court that this is a boundary line dispute requiring an action to quiet title. Actions

to quiet title are within the sole jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery and cannot be heard as Writs

of Ejectment in this Court.1 THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Writ of

Ejectment is DISMISSED in its entirety with leave to transfer pursuant to 10 Del. C. §1902.
