NO. 2-04-112-CV

PATRICIA A. RUDDER APPELLANT

V.

JAMES KYLE HANNAH APPELLEE

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

FROM THE 153 RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

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

MEMORANDUM OPINION ^{(footnote: 1)} 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, ^{(footnote: 2)}  but it is not an appealable interlocutory order. ^{(footnote: 3)}  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. ^{(footnote: 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
