DAVID CORNETT, Appellant v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 40th District Court Ellis County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 37235CR, 37236CR, 37237CR, 37238CR, 37239CR, 37240CR, 37241CR, 37242CR, 37243CR, 37244CR, 37245CR, 37246CR, and 37247CR MEMORANDUM OPINION

David Cornett appeals the trial court's denial of Cornett's "Motion for Nunc Pro

Tunc Order to Remove the Improper Cumulation Order and Illegal Sentence in Cause

No. 37235-37247CR."

We do not have appellate jurisdiction of the denial of a motion for judgment nunc

pro tunc. Everett v. State, 82 S.W.3d 735 (Tex. App.—Waco 2002, pet. dism'd). The

appropriate remedy to obtain review of the denial of a nunc pro tunc motion is by a

petition for writ of mandamus. Ex parte Forooghi, 185 S.W.3d 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006)

(Johnson, J., concurring statement); see also Ex parte Ybarra, 149 S.W.3d 147, 149 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2004).

Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P.

43.2(f).
