OPALA, Vice Chief Justice.

The issues to be resolved are: 1) Was the appeal in Cause No. 65,360 timely brought? 2) If so, did the trial court err when it dismissed the defendants from the lawsuit? and 3) Was summary judgment on appeal in Cause No. 67,294 incorrectly given to another defendant in the case? We consolidate the two appeals and answer all three questions in the affirmative.
