QUINCY BLAKELY APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT NO. 5 OF DENTON COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. CR-2015-06355-E MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Pro se appellant Quincy Blakely attempted to appeal the trial court's January 30, 2018 "Order Holding Defendant's Bond Insufficient," in which the trial court granted the State's motion to hold Blakely's bond insufficient, ordered the issuance of a warrant for Blakely's arrest, and set bail at "No Bond."
On February 2, 2018, we notified Blakely of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over his appeal because the trial court's order did not appear to be an appealable interlocutory order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). We informed Blakely that unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal by February 12, 2018, we would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We subsequently granted Blakely an extension—to March 30, 2018—to respond to our jurisdiction letter.
On April 4, 2018, Blakely responded to our letter, asking that we dismiss the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
