TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-15-00018-CV Byron Justice and Aaron Johnson, Appellants v. Janet Mortenson, Permanent Receiver for National Life Settlements, LLC; and NATT, LLC, Appellees FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 98TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-GN-11-000545, HONORABLE STEPHEN YELENOSKY, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellants Byron Justice and Aaron Johnson have filed pro se notices of appeal from a district court order granting the Receiver’s motion for partial summary judgment. Review of the clerk’s record in this case confirms that the order is not final because it does not dispose of all claims against all parties. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). Additionally, there is no statutory basis for review of this interlocutory order. Cf. Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 51.014. The Court accordingly wrote appellants on February 13, 2015, advising of the jurisdictional defect and requesting a response explaining how we have jurisdiction by February 23, 2015. We cautioned appellants that failure to file a response within the time requested would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellants have not filed a response. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). __________________________________________ Bob Pemberton, Justice Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Field Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: August 27, 2015 2
