MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

----------

Pro se Appellant Jonathan David Tsuchiya attempts to appeal from a case

still pending in the trial court. On July 24, 2014, we notified Appellant of our

concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because it does not appear to

1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
arise from a final judgment or an appealable interlocutory order but instead

appears premature. 2 We stated that if no party provided us with a signed copy of

the order that Appellant seeks to appeal within twenty days of our letter, we

would dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. 3 We have received no

response.

Accordingly, because this case remains pending in the trial court and there

is no evidence that Appellant seeks to appeal an appealable interlocutory order,

we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. 4
