JUAN C. ROZO, M.D. AND EAST HOUSTON SPECIALISTS, PLLC D/B/A CARDIOLOGY SPECIALISTS OF HOUSTON, Appellants V.

CARMEN CARTER-FAUGHTENBERY, Appellee

On Appeal from the 127th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2018-57943

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants Juan C. Rozo, M.D. and East Houston Specialists, PLLC d/b/a Cardiology Specialists of Houston petition this court to allow a permissive interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s November 1, 2019 amended order denying appellants’ motion to dismiss. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d).

After reviewing the petition and the record, we conclude that appellants have not shown that (1) the November 1, 2019 amended order involves a controlling issue of law as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion; and (2) an immediate appeal from the order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation. See id.

Accordingly, we deny appellant’s petition for permissive interlocutory appeal.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Wise, Jewell, and Poissant.
