OPINION  ON  MOTION  FOR  REHEARING

The opinion and judgment issued on September 15, 2005, is hereby withdrawn.

Pending before the Court is Appellant=s amended motion for rehearing of this Court=s judgment dismissing the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  In his motion, Appellant asserts that his appeal of the protective order is not an interlocutory order because the divorce is now final.  Appellant asserts that the notice of appeal was prematurely filed and he has attached a certified copy of the parties= final divorce decree.  The Court has considered Appellant=s motion and concludes the motion should be granted.  Accordingly, Appellant=s motion for rehearing is hereby GRANTED.  Further, Appellant is hereby ORDERED to direct the district clerk to file a supplement to the clerk=s record so that the record in this cause establishes that this Court has jurisdiction to consider the appeal.
