CHRISTOPHER FORREST APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM THE 158TH DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. F16-546-158 MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant Christopher Forrest attempts to appeal the trial court's denial of his request for a judgment nunc pro tunc.
By letter dated April 20, 2017, we notified Appellant of our concern that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because the trial court's order does not appear to be appealable. See Ex parte Florence, 319 S.W.3d 695, 696 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010) (providing that the appropriate remedy for denial of a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is to file an application for writ of mandamus in a court of appeals); Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 148-49 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004) (same). We informed Appellant that unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by May 1, 2017, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We have not received a response.
Because we do not have jurisdiction over this appeal, we dismiss it. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f); Florence, 319 S.W.3d at 696; Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d at 148-49.
