______________________________

No. 06-07-00065-CV

JASON BLAKENEY, Appellant

V.

STATE OF TEXAS, ET AL., Appellees

On Appeal from the Fourth Judicial District Court

Rusk County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2006-310

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Jason Blakeney, has filed two notices of appeal with this Court appealing from (1) the trial court's order signed February 14, 2007, dismissing all claims, and (2) the trial court's order signed March 13, 2007, denying Blakeney's motion for rehearing.

The order denying the motion for rehearing does not constitute a final, appealable order. Unless otherwise statutorily authorized, an appeal may be made only from a final judgment. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.012 (Vernon 1997), § 51.014 (Vernon Supp. 2006). Therefore, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

On the other hand, the order dismissing all claims is an appealable judgment. Blakeney's appeal from that judgment remains before this Court and has been assigned cause number 06-07-00064-CV.
