Torts — Legal malpractice — Interlocutory appeal

This appeal is yet another of the many cases arising from the estate of Dr. Peter A. Castruccio, the late husband of Sadie Castruccio. In this case, Mrs. Castruccio accuses John R. Greiber, Jr., her late husband’s attorney and the personal representative of his estate, of legal malpractice. Mr. Greiber appeals an interlocutory order of the Circuit Court of Anne Arundel County that had the effect of extending certain discovery, including designation of expert witnesses, beyond the original discovery deadline. He also seeks to raise issues relating to the merits of the underlying action. Mrs. Castruccio filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the order Mr. Greiber seeks to appeal is not appealable.
