ZETAH LOUIS, AS NEXT FRIEND OF KHASEEN ISRAEL-BARNEY AND ABCDE PETERSON, MINOR CHILDREN, Appellant v. COREY JUJUAN WILLIAMS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 1 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 490, 130
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Countiss and Farris.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant, Zetah Louis, as next friend of the minor children Khaseen Israel-Barney and Abcde Peterson, has filed a petition for permissive appeal seeking to challenge an interlocutory order denying her pretrial motion to apply Georgia law to determine the issue of parentage. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(d); Tex.R.App.P. 28.3. To be entitled to a permissive appeal from an interlocutory order that would not otherwise be appealable, the requesting party must establish that (1) the order to be appealed involves a "controlling question of law as to which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion" and (2) an immediate appeal from the order "may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014(d); see Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(e)(4); Tex.R.Civ.P. 168. Because we conclude that the petition fails to establish each requirement of Rule 28.3(3)(e)(4), we deny the petition for permissive appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(e)(4).
