MEMORANDUM OPINION1

 

------------

        On September 15, 2004, Robert Donnell Davis, Jr. filed a pro se Appeal Affidavit urging the chief justice of this court to commence a court of inquiry concerning criminal trespass charges pending against Appellant.  On September 30, 2004, we notified Appellant of our concern that this court may not have jurisdiction because courts of inquiry are to be conducted by district judges, not appellate court judges2 and no final, appealable judgment or order has been entered in the trial court.3  We also notified Appellant that this appeal would be dismissed unless Appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.4  No response has been filed.  Therefore, for the reasons stated above, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.5
