The applicant has failed to show a continued interest in pursuing the application; 2.

The applicant’s application for leave and judicial review fails to reveal a meritorious argument; and 3.

[2] In so exercising my own discretion, I find exactly as Prothonotary Tabib did. In that regard, I am substantially in agreementwith paragraphs 27 to 38 inclusive of the written representations filed on behalf of the defendant. ORDER THIS COURT ORDERS that, consequently, the applicant’s motion appealing Prothonotary Tabib’s order dated March 3, 2011,is dismissed.

As no costs are sought by the respondent, none are adjudicated.
