CHINARA BUTLER, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS INDEPENDENT

ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF CHAD BUTLER, Appellant

V.

BYRON HILL D/B/A NOMAD, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 96118

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Chinara Butler, individually and as independent administrator of the Estate of Chad Butler, filed a notice of appeal. We questioned our jurisdiction of the appeal and requested from appellant a response identifying the order that ended the discrete phase of the probate proceedings, or identifying an appealable order. We did not receive a response.

It appears this Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. To the extent this appeal relates to the order that this Court required be vacated in a separate mandamus proceeding, this appeal is moot. The appeal is dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
