Opinion issued March 5, 2003.
Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 02-14404-C.
Dismissed.
Before Justices JAMES, BRIDGES, and RICHTER.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant filed a notice of appeal with this Court stating that he was appealing the trial court's denial of his motion for sanctions. Appellant's docketing statement and other pleadings filed with this Court make it clear that no final judgment has been entered in the case below. Some of appellant's filings claim that he is filing a quo warranto action because of the denial of his motion for sanctions. Appellant has not complied with the requirements for filing a quo warranto proceeding.
On February 5, 2003, the Court sent appellant a letter directing him to file a brief with the Court explaining how the Court has jurisdiction over his appeal. Appellant was directed to file the brief and a certified copy of the order he is appealing with the Court within ten days of the date of the letter. Appellant was notified that failure to do so would result in dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not responded to the Court's directives. The only documents appellant has filed with the Court since the letter are motions for sanctions referring to the rules of civil procedures and complaining about motions for summary judgment against him pending in the trial court below. Appellee has responded to the Court's letter by filing a motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES this appeal for want of jurisdiction and prosecution. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3(a), (b), and (c). The Court DENIES appellee's motion to dismiss as moot.
