LINDA LEWIS AND LAURA ROBERTS v. SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATION SELECT MEDICAL CORPORATIONCEO DAVID CHERNOW EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN ROBERT ORTENZIO VICE CHAIRMAN ROCCO ORTENZIO SELECT SPECIALTY HOSPITAL SOUTH DALLAS AND DR ADOLPHUS GIST (2014)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal because there did not appear to be a final judgment or other appealable order. We instructed appellants to file a letter brief addressing our concern and gave appellees an opportunity to respond.

Generally, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A final judgment is one that disposes of all pending parties and claims. See id.

Appellants appeal from the trial court's March 20, 2017 partial summary judgment. That judgment disposes of the plaintiffs' claims against only defendants Select Medical Corporation and Select Specialty Hospital South Dallas. Plaintiffs' claims against defendants David Chernow, Robert Ortenzio, Rocco A. Ortenzio, and Dr. Adolphus Gist remain pending.

Appellant Linda Lewis filed a letter brief in which she asks this Court for permission to appeal the interlocutory order. There is no statutory authority allowing an appeal of an interlocutory order granting partial summary judgment. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(1)-(13) (West Supp. 2016). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
