I. INTRODUCTION

Based on their judgment against George Mattia (George),1 Carol

Mesce2 and Vanz, LLC (collectively Appellants) sued Talal Madalow and Ibtisam Madalow (the Madalows), claiming a superior interest in real property the Madalows obtained from George’s mother, Shalah Mattia (Shalah). The trial court granted the Madalows’ motions to strike portions of Appellants’ complaint and to expunge a lis pendens Appellants recorded against the disputed property. Finding the Appellants’ complaint deficient without the lis pendens, the trial court also granted the Madalows’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. On appeal, Appellants claim the trial court erred on all three motions. We dismiss the appeal regarding the expungement order because that order is not appealable, and Appellants did not seek timely writ review. We affirm the trial court’s other two rulings.
