Court of Appeals

NO. 09-05-481 CR

ELIJAH W. RATCLIFF, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Polk County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 18177
On November 17, 2005, we informed the parties that our jurisdiction was not apparent from the notice of appeal, and notified them that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless we received a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. No reply has been filed.
The notice of appeal seeks to appeal "a series of dispositive orders" (1) but according to the trial court clerk the appellant has not been convicted or sentenced in cause no. 18177. The trial court's denial of the appellant's motions is not appealable at this time. The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
