DECEASED

                                             §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Wallach

                                      JUDGMENT

       This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s order. It is ordered that the order of the trial court

is affirmed in part and reversed and remanded in part. We affirm that portion of the

trial court’s order denying Appellant Scott Moseley’s ninth application for attorney’s

fees and expenses as to fees and expenses incurred prior to Ernest Hodge’s death. We

reverse that portion of the trial court’s order denying Moseley’s ninth application for

fees and expenses incurred in his representation of the estate and its administrator in
the outside litigation and remand this case to the trial court for further proceedings

consistent with this opinion.

      It is further ordered that each party shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
