COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH

NO. 2-07-451-CV

DAVID SCOT LYND	APPELLANT

V.

NORTHWOOD MHC, L.P., 	APPELLEES

D/B/A NORTHWOOD AND 

CITY OF LEWISVILLE/LEWISVILLE 

POLICE DEPARTMENT

FROM THE 367TH DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

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

Appellant David Scot Lynd appeals from the trial court’s order severing his claims against appellees Northwood MHC., L.P., d/b/a Northwood, the City of Lewisville, and the Lewisville Police Department from his divorce proceeding involving Lea Ailene Cox.  Both causes of action were originally filed under Cause No. 2007-50902-367. 

On January 14, 2008, this court sent a letter to appellant advising him that we may lack jurisdiction over his appeal because the trial court’s “Order on Motion for Severance” did not appear to be a final, appealable order or judgment and stating that unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response on or before January 24, 2008, showing grounds for continuing the appeal, we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
(footnote: 2)  Appellant did not file a response.  

This court has jurisdiction over appeals from final judgments and certain interlocutory orders, if specifically authorized by statute.
(footnote: 3)  The order from which appellant appeals is neither a final judgment nor an interlocutory order for which an appeal is authorized by statute.
(footnote: 4)  Because we have no statutory authorization to review the trial court’s interlocutory order granting appellees’ motion to sever, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
