                                      In The

      CRESTON LAWRENCE LEONG AND AMERICAN MEDICAL
         RESPONSE AMBULANCE SERVICE, INC., Appellants

                                        V.

                         JOSE VELASQUEZ, Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 55th District Court
                            Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 2021-55795

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an interlocutory appeal from an order denying appellant’s motion to
dismiss for failure to timely file an expert report signed August 22, 2023. See Tex.
Civ. Prac. Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(a)(d). On October 17, 2023, appellants filed a
“Motion to Dismiss Appeal and Remand Under T.R.A.P. 42.1(a)(1).” See Tex. R.
App. P. 42.1(a)(1). Rule 42.1(a)(1) does not provide for a remand; however,
because this is an interlocutory appeal, upon this court’s judgment of dismissal, the
underlying case may proceed to trial. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code
Ann. § 51.014 (b) (imposing stay of commencement of trial pending resolution of
appeal in certain interlocutory appeals). The portion of the motion requesting a
dismissal of this appeal is granted. The portion of the motion requesting a remand
is dismissed as moot.

      We dismiss the appeal.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Spain, and Wilson.
