Brent West Attorneys: William A. Ward, Ogden, Appellant Pro Se ----- Before Judges Bench, Greenwood, and McHugh. PER CURIAM: William A. Ward seeks to appeal the trial court's determination that he had been properly served with an order to show cause and forfeiting $200.00 on a bench warrant. This is before the court on its own motion for summary disposition based on lack of jurisdiction due to the absence of a final, appealable order. Generally, appeals may be taken only from final orders or judgments. See Utah R. App. P. 3(a). Aside from certain exceptions not applicable here, an appellate court "does not have jurisdiction over an appeal unless it is taken from a final judgment." Loffredo v. Holt, 2001 UT 97,ΒΆ10, 37 P.3d 1070. It is well settled that an unsigned minute entry is not a final order for purposes of appeal. See Ron Shepard Ins. v. Shields, 882 P.2d 650, 653 (Utah 1994). The unsigned minute entry noting the result of the hearing on the order to show cause on November 23, 2005, is not a final order for purposes of appeal. As a result, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and must dismiss it. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the timely filing of a notice of appeal after the entry of a final, appealable order. ______________________________ Russell W.
