1Opinion of the Court
GRANT, Justice.
The Levermanns appeal the dismissal for want of prosecution of their medical malpractice case. They contend by their points of error that the trial court abused its discretion in granting the appellees’ motion to dismiss for want of prosecution and in refusing to grant the subsequent motion to reinstate.
