>MEMORANDUM OPINIONhref="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">[1]

Plaintiff Regulo Sierra sued
his former attorneys, defendants Paul H. Melbostad and his law firm, for href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">legal malpractice.  The trial court sustained defendants’
demurrer to plaintiff’s first amended complaint without leave to amend on the
ground the malpractice claims were time-barred.

            Plaintiff,
in pro. per. both here and below, purports to appeal from (1) the order
sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend and (2) an order denying
reconsideration of that order.

            Neither order is appealable.  (Nowlon
