____________________________________________________________

ALFREDO SOTERO CHAY, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On Appeal from the 107th District Court

of Cameron County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Alfredo Sotero Chay, pro se, has filed a clerk's record with this Court. By letter issued on May 27, 2004, the Clerk of the Court notified appellant that, upon review of the record, it did not appear that an appeal had been perfected or that a petition for writ of mandamus had been filed in connection with this cause. The Clerk informed appellant that the appeal would be dismissed if the defect were not cured within ten days from the date of receipt of the Court's directive. Appellant's responses, filed with this Court on June 21 and July 12, stated that appellant did not recall what had been filed with the Court and that appellant was unable to further pursue the matter.

Appellant's responses fail to show that appellant desires to prosecute this matter or that this Court has jurisdiction over this matter as an appeal or an original proceeding. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b) (requiring a "sufficient" notice of appeal), 42.2(a) (governing voluntary dismissals in criminal cases). Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
