Ibn Khedru 'Ankh v. TDCJ ID--Appeal from 52nd District Court of Coryell County

IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-99-367-CV

IBN KHEDRU ANKH,

Appellant

v.

TDCJ ID,

Appellee

From the 52nd District Court

Coryell County, Texas

Trial Court # 99-32688

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Pugh, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Institutional Division, brought suit against the Department, several state employees, and Judge Philip Zeigler for alleged civil rights violations. The court dismissed Judge Zeigler as a defendant, but the suit against the remaining defendants is still pending. Pugh attempts to appeal from the court s partial dismissal order. Pugh is also attempting appeal of a motion for recusal which was filed in the trial court and denied by the sitting judge.

Except for the types of appealable interlocutory orders enumerated in section 51.014 of the Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code, the appellate jurisdiction of this court extends only to final judgments. City of Houston v. Kilburn, 849 S.W.2d 810, 811 (Tex. 1993); see also Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 51.014 (Vernon 1999). In order to be final, a judgment must dispose of all parties to the case and all issues in dispute. North East Independent School Dist. v. Aldridge, 400 S.W2d 893, 895 (Tex. 1966). Neither of the orders complained of in this appeal are final. This Court has no jurisdiction over non-appealable interlocutory orders. See Hood v. Amarillo Nat l Bank, 815 S.W.2d 545, 547 (Tex. 1991). This appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
