                       MEMORANDUM OPINION
         Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Smith
                            Opinion by Justice Smith

      This appeal from two interlocutory discovery sanctions orders was filed

December 28, 2021. By motion filed February 4, 2022, appellees assert the orders

are not appealable and request dismissal of the appeal as well as damages under

Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 45. Appellants have not filed a response.

      It is well-settled that an appeal may not be taken from an interlocutory

discovery sanctions order. See Bodnow Corp. v. City of Hondo, 721 S.W.2d 839,

840 (Tex. 1986) (per curiam) (discovery sanctions order is appealable upon final
judgment). Accordingly, we grant the request to dismiss and dismiss the appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a); Bodnow, 721 S.W.2d at 840. We deny the request for

damages.
