FORT WORTH  

NO. 2-04-112-CV

PATRICIA A. RUDDER                                                            APPELLANT

V.

JAMES KYLE HANNAH                                                             APPELLEE

------------

FROM THE 153^RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

------------

MEMORANDUM OPINION¹ AND JUDGMENT

------------

        Appellant Patricia A. Rudder appeals from the trial court’s interlocutory order implicitly denying in part her motion to compel discovery. The denial of a motion to compel discovery may be challenged by a petition for mandamus,² but it is not an appealable interlocutory order.³  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. ⁴  Costs of the appeal shall be paid by Appellant, for which let execution issue.

                                                                  PER CURIAM

PANEL D:   DAUPHINOT, HOLMAN, and GARDNER, JJ.

DELIVERED: May 27, 2004
