HOUSTON METRO ORTHO AND SPINE SURGERY CENTER, LLC, Appellant v. RICHARD FRANCIS, M.D., SPINAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, NORTHSTAR HEALTHCARE ACQUISITIONS, LLC, JUANSRICH LTD., AND JUANSRICH MANAGEMENT, LLC, Appellees
On Appeal from the 215th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2015-24460
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before this court is Appellant Houston Metro Ortho and Spine Surgery Center, LLC's petition for permission to appeal.
On September 6, 2016, Appellees Richard Francis, M.D., Spinal Technologies, L.L.C., Juansrich Ltd. and Juansrich Management, LLC filed a motion to dismiss Appellant's petition for permission to appeal. Appellee Northstar Healthcare Acquisitions, LLC (Northstar) joined the motion to dismiss.
On September 29, 2016, the trial court signed an order striking Plaintiff Ninth Amended Petition (which re-alleges Appellant's claim against Northstar) that states "both Northstar and the claim against it were previously dismissed from the action with prejudice to the refiling."
We conclude that Appellees' motion to the dismiss Appellant's petition for permission to appeal should be granted. We therefore GRANT the motion and ORDER that Appellant's petition for permission to appeal is dismissed.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Donovan, and Brown.
