LAURANCE KRIEGEL, APPELLANT
v.
PARMER COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, ET AL., APPELLEES
_________________________________
FROM THE 287TH DISTRICT COURT OF PARMER COUNTY;
NO. 9724; HON. GORDON H. GREEN, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
ORDER
On October 31, 2008, we issued an opinion and judgment in this appeal. On November 13, 2008, appellant Laurance Kriegel, appearing pro se, filed a document with this court entitled “Motion for Extension of Time to File Notice of Appeal to the Oct. 31, 2008 Judgment and Memorandum Opinion.” The motion bears a November 3, 2008, certificate of service but was received by the court November 13, in an envelope addressed to the court in Austin, Texas. Because the motion refers to the court’s opinion and judgment issued on October 31, we considered it a motion for extension of time to file a motion for rehearing. Tex. R. App. P. 49.8.
On November 14, the court received and filed a document submitted by Kriegel entitled “Notice of Appeal.” Because this document also concerns the court’s October 31 opinion and judgment, and as Kriegel paid the correct filing fee for a motion for rehearing, we have treated it as a motion for rehearing. Tex. R. App. P. 49.1 & 5.
On November 19, the court received and filed a document submitted by Kriegel entitled “Motion for Rehearing.” To this document, he attached a copy of the “Notice of Appeal” filed November 14 and carried forward its arguments. We have, accordingly, treated it as an amended motion for rehearing.
Concerning the three documents filed by appellant Kriegel and noted above, the court makes the following orders.
Kriegel’s motion for extension of time is dismissed as moot. To the extent this motion sought other relief within the jurisdiction of this court, such relief is denied.
Kriegel’s motion for rehearing is denied. Tex. R. App. P. 49.3. To the extent the documents urging this motion sought other relief within the jurisdiction of this court, such relief is denied.
It is so ordered.
