<STRONG>PER CURIAM</STRONG>	

<P>	Appellant Sue Triplett filed a "Notice of Interlocutory Appeal" that also requested 
temporary relief to stay the trial court's referral to mediation and a non-jury trial setting for
June&nbsp;19, 2000.  Triplett has filed her interlocutory appeal from a trial court order denying her
motion to compel plaintiff in the underlying suit to submit to a mental examination.  Such a
discovery order is interlocutory and not immediately appealable in the absence of express statutory
authority.  <EM>See Pelt v. State Bd. of Ins.</EM>, 802 S.W.2d 822, 827 (Tex. App.--Austin 1990, no writ). 
We do not find express statutory authority for an interlocutory appeal from this type of discovery
order.  Accordingly, we dismiss the interlocutory appeal for want of jurisdiction.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R.
App. P. 42.3(a).  We deny appellant's request for temporary relief.</P>
