Opinion

Case No. 20030659-CA.

Filed October 17, 2003. (Not For Official Publication)

Appeal from the Eighth District, Roosevelt Department, The Honorable A. Lynn Payne.

David P. Slim, Roosevelt, Appellant Pro Se.

Before Judges Jackson, Bench, and Orme.

PER CURIAM:

This case is before the court on a sua sponte motion for summary dismissal on the basis that the appeal is not taken from a final order.

An appeal can be taken only from a final order or judgment. See Utah R.App.P. 3(a). The record contains an unsigned minute entry indicating that Appellant's motion for an order to show cause was denied. "An unsigned minute entry does not constitute a final order for purposes of appeal." State v. Crowley, 737 P.2d 198, 198 (Utah 1987) (per curiam).

We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction because it is not taken from a signed, final order.

Norman H. Jackson, Presiding Judge, Russell W. Bench, Judge, and Gregory K. Orme, Judge.
