                            Galveston County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 11-CV-0724

                  MEMORANDUM                       OPINION

      This is an attempted appeal from an order signed November 4, 2013,
denying appellants’ oral motion for leave to file a fourth amended petition.
Generally, appeals may be taken only from final judgments. Lehmann v. Har-Con
Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Interlocutory orders may be appealed only
if permitted by statute. Bally Total Fitness Corp. v. Jackson, 53 S.W.3d 352, 352
(Tex. 2001). This appeal is from an interlocutory order not permitted to be
appealed by statute. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014 (listing
interlocutory orders that may be appealed).

      On November 20, 2013, appellees filed a motion to dismiss the appeal on the
ground that the order is interlocutory. Appellants’ response was to request
additional time to file a response to the motion. To date, appellants have been
permitted more than 45 days to file a response, and have filed an additional request
asking for an additional 30 days.

      The record filed with this court reflects an interlocutory order over which
this court has no jurisdiction.

      The appeal is ordered dismissed and appellants’ pending motion to extend
time to file a response is denied as moot.

                                                 PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Brown.
