(West 1994)), and estoppel. The action is based on defendant State Farm Fire and Casualty Company’s denial of plaintiffs’ claims under their 1993 homeowners insurance policies.
On August 2, 1996, the trial court granted defendant’s motion to dismiss the fifth amended complaint for failure to state a cause of action under section 2 — 615 of the Code of Civil Procedure (735 ILCS 5/2 — 615 (West 1994)). The court denied plaintiffs’ motions for reconsideration and for leave to file a sixth amended complaint on November 19, 1996. It is from these orders that plaintiffs appeal.
