MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT
 
------------
        Appellant 
Patricia A. Rudder appeals from the trial court’s interlocutory order 
implicitly denying in part her motion to compel discovery. The denial of a 
motion to compel discovery may be challenged by a petition for mandamus,2 but it is not an appealable interlocutory order.3  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of 
jurisdiction. 4  Costs of the appeal shall 
be paid by Appellant, for which let execution issue.
