     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 345TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
      NO. D-1-GN-09-000273, HONORABLE ORLINDA NARANJO, JUDGE PRESIDING

                               DISSENTING OPINION

               Because I would request a response before ruling on appellees’ emergency motion

for dismissal of this interlocutory appeal, I respectfully dissent. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.3. According

to appellees’ motion, the deadlines in the underlying proceeding at issue are April 27, 2011, for a

hearing on dispositive motions, and the trial setting of May 9, 2011. Given these dates, I would give

appellants an opportunity to respond before ruling on the merits of the motion.
