AND BOBBIE GREEN, JR., Appellants



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY

AND KEVIN BURMAN, Appellees




On Appeal from the 411th District Court

San Jacinto County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 9977, consolidated with 10366




MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)

On March 31, 2004, the appellees filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. The judgment was signed on December 4, 2003. A motion for new trial was filed within thirty days of the date the judgment was signed. A notice of appeal was filed on March 23, 2004, more than 90 days from the date the judgment was signed. No motion for extension of time has been filed. The Court finds the appellants failed to timely perfect an appeal. The Court further finds that it lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.

It is therefore ordered that the appellees' motion to dismiss is granted. We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM



Opinion Delivered April 15, 2004
