Appellant, Chinara Butler, individually and as independent administrator of the Estate of Chad Butler, filed a notice of appeal. We questioned our jurisdiction of the appeal and requested from appellant a response identifying the order that ended the discrete phase of the probate proceedings, or identifying an appealable order. We did not receive a response.

It appears this Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. To the extent this appeal relates to the order that this Court required be vacated in a separate mandamus proceeding, this appeal is moot. The appeal is dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
