Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed December 23, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-10-00705-CV ____________ STEVEN FRANKOFF, Appellant V. SUSAN NORMAN AND MICHAEL EASTON, Appellees On Appeal from the 157th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2008-34994 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from a judgment signed July 14, 2010. On September 20, 2010, appellee Susan Norman filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. Norman asserts the order Frankoff is attempting to appeal is interlocutory because Frankoff s claims against Michael Easton are still pending in the trial court. Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be appealed only if permitted by statute. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352 (Tex. 2001); Jack B. Anglin Co., Inc. v. Tipps, 842 S.W.2d 266, 272 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Frankoff s response fails to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction over the appeal. Accordingly, the motion is granted and the appeal is ordered dismissed. Further, Frankoff s motion to consolidate and motion for ruling on jurisdiction and standing, both filed September 30, 2010, are denied. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Seymore, Brown, and Boyce. 2
