On Appeal from the 276th Judicial District Court Marion County, Texas, Trial Court No. F1573.

Before MORRISS, C.J., CARTER and MOSELEY, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Joanna Gasperson appeals pretrial orders denying her motion to set aside indictment for failure to afford constitutional right to speedy trial and pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus seeking relief from double jeopardy. We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Gasperson's appeal in companion cause number 06-08-00113-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we dismiss Gasperson's speedy trial interlocutory appeal filed before trial, conviction, and appeal for want of jurisdiction. Because we conclude that civil restitution does not constitute a criminal punishment to which jeopardy can attach, we affirm the trial court's ruling finding no violation of double jeopardy.
