BOBBY NORTHCUTT

V.

ROGER METCALF, ROY METCALF APPELLEES

AND CARAVAN OF DREAMS, INC.

FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY

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

MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1)

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

Appellants have filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, stating that the order they seek to appeal—a summary judgment in favor of Appellee Caravan of Dreams, Inc.— was only a partial, interlocutory summary judgment, and did not dispose of Appellants’ claims against Roger Metcalf or Roy Metcalf.  Therefore, Appellants assert that because no final judgment or severance have been signed by the trial court, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.  We agree.  Accordingly, we grant Appellants’ motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction.  Appellants shall pay all costs of this appeal, for which let execution issue.
