WENDY GUZMAN, Appellee

On Appeal from the 113th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2006-53913

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal from an order granting a request to conduct depositions pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 202, which was signed on September 25, 2006.  Appellants also filed a petition for writ of mandamus in this court in which they sought relief from the same order.^[1]  On November 30, 2006, this court conditionally granted appellants/relators= petition for writ of mandamus and directed the trial court to vacate its September 25, 2006 order.  In granting relief, we concluded that the order granting Rule 202 depositions is interlocutory and not a final, appealable order.  See In re Siddiqi, No. 14-06-00913-CV, 2006 WL 3456635 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] Nov. 30, 2006, orig. proceeding) (citing In re Allan, 191 S.W.3d 483, 489 (Tex. App.CTyler 2006, orig. proceeding [mand. pending]).

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
