Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

MEMORANDUM ORDER

Cause No 01-14-00027-CV, Juan Alaniz, et al. v. The O’Quinn Law Firm, John M. O’Quinn & Assoc., LLP, The Estate of John M. O’Quinn, Deceased, and Abel Manji

On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 2 of Harris County, Texas, trial court cause number 392,274-414, the Hon. Mike Wood, presiding.

On April 14, 2015, the parties appeared for oral argument. The panel addressed the issue of the basis for appellate jurisdiction in this case and the propriety of the severance order purporting to make the trial court’s order on the partial motions for summary judgment final and appealable. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 41; Guar. Fed. Sav. Bank v. Horseshoe Operating Co., 793 S.W.2d 652, 658 (Tex. 1990). The panel now requests supplemental briefing on those issues. It is ordered that the supplemental briefing of both parties is due ten days from the date of this order.

It is so ORDERED.
