Sanford H. Coleman v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 25th Judicial District Court of Guadalupe County

No. 04-98-00712-CR
Sanford H. COLEMAN,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
Trial Court No. 89-0688-CR
Honorable Gus J. Strauss, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice

Tom Rickhoff, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Delivered and Filed: November 4, 1998

APPEAL DISMISSED

On July 31, 1998, appellant filed a notice of appeal from the denial of his motion for judgment nunc pro tunc. The denial of such a motion is an unappealable interlocutory order. See Shadowbrook Apartments v. Abu-Ahmad, 783 S.W.2d 210, 211 (Tex. 1990); Scott v. State, 253 S.W.2d 275, 276 (Tex. Crim. App. 1952). Accordingly, on October 20, 1998, this court ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Appellant responded to this court's order. However, appellant's statements are insufficient to confer jurisdiction on this court. Because the denial of appellant's motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is an unappealable interlocutory order, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
