Shakeel Mustafa v. Felix Rippy

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-15-00422-CV Shakeel Mustafa, Appellant v. Felix Rippy, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 15-0708-CC4, HONORABLE JOHN MCMASTER, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Shakeel Mustafa filed a notice of appeal attempting to challenge the trial court’s order granting Felix Rippy’s motion to compel arbitration. We do not have jurisdiction to review a trial court’s interlocutory order granting arbitration. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 171.098(a)(1),(2) (authorizing interlocutory appeal of trial court order denying application to compel arbitration or granting application to stay arbitration) (emphases added); Mohamed v. Auto Nation USA Corp., 89 S.W.3d 830, 833-34 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2002, no pet.) (dismissing interlocutory appeal because “no interlocutory appeal lies from an order granting a motion to compel arbitration under TAA”). On August 4, 2015, this Court requested that Mustafa file a written response demonstrating our jurisdiction over this appeal. No response was filed. We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f). Jeff Rose, Chief Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Field Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: August 21, 2015 2
