Appellant, ANTONIA MARIE VALLEJO-MORON, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 332nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-874-93-F.  Judgment in this cause was signed on October 16, 2001.  Appellant filed a notice of restricted appeal on April 15, 2002.

R. App. P. 42.3(c) that this cause was subject to dismissal.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.

          The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to comply with the Rules of Appellate Procedure, and appellant=s failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
