MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza

Opinion Per Curiam


         Appellant, HANI MANSHADI, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order purportedly entered by the 308th District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause no. 1993-47999.

         Upon review of the documents on file, it appeared that no final, appealable order had been entered in this cause. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant has failed to file a response as requested by this Court’s notice.

         The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s failure to respond to this Court’s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

                                                               PER CURIAM


Opinion delivered and filed this

the 26th day of February, 2004.
