Commodore Foster Bebout v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided January 23, 1973 · Bell, Dyer, Clark
472 F.2d 339 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Commodore Foster Bebout v. Dr. George J. Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This case comes to this court on an appeal from the denial of a motion for rehearing which motion was filed over four years after entry of the judgment of dismissal on which rehearing was sought.

The motion for rehearing was not timely filed; hence the time for filing notice of appeal was not extended. Thus a timely notice of appeal is lacking and the appeal must be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Albers v. Gant, 5 Cir., 1970, 435 F.2d 146.

Dismissed.
