                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

 

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


Appellant Larry Martin Roche attempts to appeal from the trial court=s denial of his motions for judgment nunc pro tunc in two cases.  We do not have jurisdiction over an appeal from an order denying a request for judgment nunc pro tunc.  Sanchez v. State, 112 S.W.3d 311, 312 (Tex. App.CCorpus Christi 2003, no pet.); Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735, 735 (Tex. App.CWaco 2002, pet. dism=d); see also Moffatt v. State, No. 2‑05‑372‑CR, 2005 WL 3082253, at *1 (Tex. App.CFort Worth Nov. 17, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.) (not designated for publication).

On March 19, 2007, we notified Appellant that we were concerned that we lacked jurisdiction over these appeals and that we would dismiss the appeals unless any party desiring to continue the appeals filed with the court a response showing grounds for continuing the appeals.  See Tex. R. App. P. 44.3.  Appellant=s response informed the court that he has filed a petition for writ of mandamus challenging the dismissals of his motions nunc pro tunc, but nothing in his response establishes grounds for continuing these appeals.  Therefore, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
