1Opinion of the Court

Ray, Judge.

This appeal stems from litigation between two physicians and various entities they control. Armin Oskouei, M.D. and Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, LLC, filed an application for interlocutory appeal from a trial court’s order dismissing their counterclaim against James L. Chappuis, M.D., Orthopaedic & Spine Surgery of Atlanta, LLC, and William T. Marlow. The motion to dismiss argued the existence of a prior pending action.
