Michael W. Palmer v. Cleveland Independent School District
Michael W. Palmer v. Cleveland Independent School District
Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-24-00138-CV __________________ MICHAEL W. PALMER, Appellant V. CLEVELAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 75th District Court Liberty County, Texas Trial Cause No. 24DC-CV-00432 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On April 15, 2024, Michael W. Palmer filed a notice of appeal in Trial Cause Number 24DC-CV-00432. The notice of appeal complains that the trial court has not drafted a docket control order. We notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not identify a final judgment or an appealable order, and we warned the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless the Court received a response showing a ground for continuing the appeal.
Generally, in civil cases appellate courts review only final judgments and interlocutory orders specifically made appealable by statute. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). An appeal from an interlocutory order may proceed as an accelerated appeal “when allowed by statute[.]” See Tex. R. App. P. 28.1. The appellant has failed to comply with the notice from the clerk requiring action within a specified time. See id. 42.3(c). Palmer failed to file a response or identify a final judgment or a written order from which an appeal is authorized by law. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a), (c), 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
