After carefully reviewing the papers herein and upon consideration of the memoranda submitted by the parties, we hereby direct that the following order shall enter:

1. The defendants’ motion for stay is denied.

2. The defendants’ appeal is denied and dismissed pursuant to the provisions of G.L.1956 (1984 Reenactment) § 34-18.1-19 as amended by ch. 494 § 1 of the Public Laws 1988.
