      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 169TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
         NO. 239,717C, HONORABLE J. F. CLAWSON, JR., JUDGE PRESIDING

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant has filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s orders dismissing his

claims against appellees and severing those claims into a separate cause. Trial court cause number

239,717C (our cause number 03-09-00723-CV) is the severed cause of action in which the
trial court’s orders of dismissal are final and appealable. Appellant’s claims against other defendants

not dismissed from the suit are continuing in trial court cause number 222,223C (our cause number

03-09-00722-CV). Although there are two cause numbers pending in this Court, appellant is seeking

to appeal from the same orders in both causes. We therefore consolidate the issues, records, and

documents filed in cause number 03-009-00722-CV into cause 03-09-00723-CV. The consolidated

causes will proceed under the style of cause 03-09-00723-CV, and cause 03-09-00722-CV is

dismissed.
