                                MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------

Appellant Roberto
Diaz-Rohena, M.D. attempts to appeal from the trial court=s denial of his motion to dismiss with prejudice the claims of
Appellee Cynthia S. Melton.  Appellant=s trial-court motion to dismiss had alleged that Appellee=s expert report was not legally sufficient and did not meet the
statutory good faith requirement under Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code
section 74.351.[2]  Appellee filed a motion to dismiss this
appeal for want of jurisdiction, and Appellant filed a response.
This court recently held that
we lacked jurisdiction over an interlocutory appeal of an order denying a
motion to dismiss based on the inadequacies of a section 74.351 expert report
because such an order is not appealable under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies
Code section 51.014 and no other statute gives us jurisdiction.[3]  Accordingly, we have no jurisdiction over
this appeal.  Therefore, we grant
Appellee=s motion and dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
