Diaz-Rohena v. Melton
Diaz-Rohena v. Melton
Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
Appellant Roberto Diaz-Rohena, M.D. attempts to appeal from the trial court’s denial of his motion to dismiss with prejudice the claims of Appellee Cynthia S. Melton. Appellant’s trial-court motion to dismiss had alleged that Appellee’s expert report was not legally sufficient and did not meet the statutory good faith require *291 ment under Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code section 74.351. 2 Appellee filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction, and Appellant filed a response.
This court recently held that we lacked jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal of an order denying a motion to dismiss based on the inadequacies of a section 74.351 expert report because such an order is not appealable under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 51.014 and no other statute gives us jurisdiction. 3 Accordingly, we have no jurisdiction over this appeal. Therefore, we grant Appellee’s motion and dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
