EX PARTE: JOANNA GASPERSON
On Appeal from the 276th Judicial District Court
Marion County, Texas
Trial Court No. F1573
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Joanna Gasperson appeals pretrial orders denying her motion to set aside indictment for
failure to afford constitutional right to speedy trial and pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus
seeking relief from double jeopardy.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Gasperson's appeal in
companion cause number 06-08-00113-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we dismiss Gasperson's
speedy trial interlocutory appeal filed before trial, conviction, and appeal for want of jurisdiction.
Because we conclude that civil restitution does not constitute a criminal punishment to which
jeopardy can attach, we affirm the trial court's ruling finding no violation of double jeopardy.
