MEMORANDUM OPINION

          This is the fourth of several appeals arising from the same underlying litigation. In this appeal, appellant, J. Michael Epstein (“Michael”), appeals from six orders approving attorney’s fees for legal work performed for the guardianship estate by appellee, John A. Hutchison III, the guardian of the estate of Michael’s incapacitated mother, Alta J. Epstein. Michael asserts two issues challenging these orders; we have already rejected each of Michael’s arguments in a separate appeal involving the same issues. See Epstein v. Hutchison, No. 01-02-01274-CV, 2004 WL 2475220 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Nov. 4, 2004, no pet. h.). Accordingly, we affirm the orders of the trial court.

PER CURIAM


Panel consists of Justices Taft, Jennings, and Bland.
