                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

 

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

Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal from the trial court=s April 23, 2007 AFinal Default Judgment.@  The trial court subsequently granted appellant=s motion for new trial on July 9, 2007, while it still had plenary jurisdiction over the case.  See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(e).


On October 16, 2007, we informed the parties that it appeared the trial court=s granting of the motion for new trial rendered this appeal moot and that the appeal would be dismissed as moot unless, on or before Friday, October 26, 2007, any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  Neither party filed a response.

Therefore, we dismiss the appeal as moot on our own motion.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(c), 43.2(f).
