Before REAVIS and JOHNSON, JJ., and BOYD, S.J. ⁽¹⁾

Pending before the Court is a motion by appellant Shawn Ray Bob to reopen his appeal. The motion is filed pro se, just as were the original notice of appeal and motion which requested that we dismiss the appeal. The motion is postmarked November 19, 2002, and was filed by the clerk on November 22, 2002.

Pursuant to appellant's pro se motion to dismiss which was filed on October 18, 2002, we dismissed the appeal. Our judgment was rendered and mandate was issued on October 29, 2002. Appellant's motion to reopen, which we deem to be a motion for rehearing, sets forth no basis for his seeking to change his mind and pursue his appeal. The motion merely requests that we now grant appellant's "wishes in this matter."

A motion for rehearing must be filed within 15 days after the court of appeals' judgment or order is rendered, and must clearly state the points relied on for the rehearing. See Tex. R. App. P. 49.1. The motion filed by appellant complies with neither requirement. Accordingly, we deny the motion.
