Ex Parte N.C.

IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-14-00102-CV

EX PARTE N.C.

From the 12th District Court

Walker County, Texas

Trial Court No. 26744

MEMORANDUM OPINION

N.C., an inmate, appeals the trial court's order denying his petition for expunction. N.C.'s appellate attorney filed a motion to withdraw and an Anders brief in support of the motion to withdraw, asserting that the appeal presents no issues of arguable merit. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967). Counsel advised N.C. that counsel had filed the motion and brief pursuant to Anders and provided N.C. a copy of the record, advised N.C. of his right to review the record, and advised N.C. of his right to submit a response on his own behalf. N.C. submitted a response.

Counsel noted in counsel’s Anders brief that there is no final order from which N.C. may appeal. We informed N.C. when we granted him additional time to file his response, that we questioned our jurisdiction to decide his appeal due to the lack of an appealable order. N.C. did not address in his response whether there was a final order in the record.1

Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1; 42.3(a).
