                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Appellant Alvin Allen, Jr. petitioned this Court to allow a permissive appeal

of the trial court’s December 4, 2019 interlocutory order denying Crown Pipe

Timber 1, LP’s motion for partial summary judgment. 1 Crown Pine Timber 1, LP

filed a response.

       See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014(d) (Supp.); see also Tex.
R. App. P. 28.3.
                                     1
       To perfect a permissive appeal from an interlocutory order that is not

otherwise appealable, the appellant, when in the trial court, must establish “(1) the

order to be appealed involves a controlling question of law as to which there is a

substantial ground for difference of opinion[,] and (2) an immediate appeal from the

order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation.” 2 After

reviewing the petition and the response, we conclude that Allen’s petition for

permissive appeal fails to establish the grounds necessary to support a ruling

granting his request.3 For that reason, we deny Allen’s petition for a permissive

appeal. 4
