Mark Anthony GARZA,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 1999-CR-4313

Honorable Sid Harle, Judge Presiding

PER CURIAM

Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice

Tom Rickhoff, Justice

Karen Angelini, Justice

Delivered and Filed: October 25, 2000

APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

On June 29, 2000, appellant, Mark Anthony Garza, filed both his notice of appeal and a motion for new trial with the trial court. The trial court granted Garza's motion for new trial on August 16, 2000. Because the granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position before the former trial, the judgment which is the subject of Garza's notice of appeal is no longer final and appealable. See Tex. R. App. P. 21.9, 25.2(2). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to over this appeal.

The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
