On Appeal from the 174th District Court

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of possession of cocaine on April 11, 1994. After finding the allegations contained in two enhancement paragraphs to be true, the court sentenced him to confinement for 25 years. Notice of appeal was filed on that same date. The appeal was assigned to the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, which affirmed the conviction in an unpublished opinion. Ortega v. State, No. 14-94-00369-CR (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] Dec. 14, 1995, pet. ref'd). The Fourteenth Court of Appeals' mandate of affirmance issued on April 22, 1996.

On June 17, 2002, appellant filed a second notice of appeal from the same judgment. The appeal was assigned to this Court and given new appellate cause number 01-02-00650-CR.

The trial court's judgment of April 11, 1994 is final. Exclusive post-conviction jurisdiction of the case has passed to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in accordance with article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See Tex. Code Crim. P. Ann. art. 11.07 (Vernon Supp. 2002).

Accordingly, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
