DISMISS and Opinion Filed July 29, 2016 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-00664-CV LAKEITH AMIR-SHARIF, Appellant V. QUIK TRIP STORE NO. #909, QUICK TRIP CORPORATION, AND CHESTER “CHET” CADIEUX, III, Appellees On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-03023 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Evans and Stoddart Opinion by Chief Justice Wright By letter dated June 21, 2016, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over the appeal because there does not appear to be a final judgment. We instructed appellant to file, by July 15, 2016, a letter brief addressing our concern and cautioned him that failure to do so may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a response. Generally, this Court has jurisdiction only over appeals from final judgments and certain interlocutory orders as permitted by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A final judgment is one that disposes of all parties and claims. See id. In the notice of appeal, appellant states that he “intends to appeal [to this Court] the trial court’s implicit denial of Plaintiff’s Motion to Reopen Case, filed on September 01, 2015.” The notice of appeal does not reference a final judgment or appealable interlocutory order. For this reason, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). /Carolyn Wright/ CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE 160664F.P05 –2– S Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas JUDGMENT LAKEITH AMIR-SHARIF, Appellant No. 05-16-00664-CV On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-03023.
