Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-23-00128-CV

ANTHONY WHITNEY NORMAN, Appellant v.

A. JANAK, BOBBY LUMPKIN, BRYAN COLLIER, SHOVANDA D. MATHIS, MARGARITA THOMAS, ROCKY N. MOORE AND TAMMY SHELBY, Appellees

From the 12th District Court Walker County, Texas Trial Court No. 2230570

MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this proceeding brought under Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice and

Remedies Code, inmate Anthony Whitney Norman appeals from the trial court’s order

signed on April 5, 2023, which dismissed Norman’s claims against a number of parties.

By letter dated October 31, 2023, the Clerk of this Court notified Norman that this appeal

is subject to dismissal because the trial court’s April 5, 2023 dismissal order did not appear to be final because it did not dispose of Norman’s claims against Shovanda D.

Mathis. Accordingly, the October 31, 2023 letter warned Norman that the Court would

dismiss the appeal unless, within twenty-one days from the date of the letter, Norman

filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. We further warned Norman

that the failure to respond to the October 31, 2023 letter is an independent basis upon

which the appeal can be dismissed.

On November 13, 2023, Norman filed a response acknowledging receipt of the

October 31, 2023 letter from this Court. However, rather than show grounds for

continuing the appeal, Norman requested additional documents and made several

threats. Because Norman has not filed a response showing grounds for continuing this

appeal within twenty-one days of October 31, 2023, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.3(c).
