It should not extract line number: 10 twice. Remove temporary file: test in the beginning so that you will not append data to existing content.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
rm -f test
for i in *.CSV
do
    sed -n '10p' "${i}" >> test
done

I figured it out. It was a typo on my part. The problem is solved.
Thanks for all your help and patients with a "nubee"
