         Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Hinojosa and Yañez

                                       Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, JOSEPH HANSLER, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 94th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 999-4128-C.  Judgment in this cause was signed on February 15, 2002.  A timely motion for new trial was filed on March 18, 2002.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was due on May 16, 2002, but was not filed until May 30, 2002. 

Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done.  Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court=s letter, the appeal would be dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant=s failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
