MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Ya ez, and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants, MELISSA CANTU AND ALFONSO ELIZONDO, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the County Court at Law No. 5 of Nueces County, Texas, in cause no. 04-60238-5. The clerk=s record was received on April 21, 2005.

Upon review of the clerk=s record, it appeared that the notice of appeal did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.1(e). Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellants were advised that, if the defect was not corrected within thirty days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed. Appellants failed to file a response as requested by this Court=s notice. Appellee has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal.

The Court, having considered the documents on file, appellants= failure to respond to this Court=s notice, and appellee=s motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that appellee=s motion should be granted. Appellee=s motion to dismiss the appeal is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
