In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-24-00065-CV __________________ JOHNATHAN COOPER, Appellant V. KEVIN YOUNG, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 172nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. E205815 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION Johnathan Cooper filed a notice of appeal in Trial Cause Number E205815. In the notice of appeal, Cooper stated, “after several request to both clerk and court coordination for status update/Jury trial setting other the years – with no response, files this - to determine whats going on with above-styled cause.” We notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not identify a final judgment or an appealable order, and we warned the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of 1 jurisdiction unless the Court received a response showing a ground for continuing the appeal. Generally, in civil cases appellate courts review only final judgments and interlocutory orders specifically made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). An appeal from an interlocutory order may proceed as an accelerated appeal “when allowed by statute[.]” See Tex. R. App. P. 28.1. Cooper filed a response, but he failed to identify a final judgment or a written order from which an appeal is authorized by law. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on April 24, 2024 Opinion Delivered April 25, 2024 Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Wright, JJ. 2
