In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-00975-CV

LAKEITH AMIR-SHARIF, Appellant V. QUICK TRIP CORPORATION, CHESTER CADIEUX III, COREY VAUGHN, AND EMILY VALKNER, Appellees

On Appeal from the 191st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-09-13818

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Fillmore, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Lang By letter dated December 19, 2017, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal

because the clerk’s record did not contain a final judgment or other appealable order. We

instructed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern.

Generally, this Court has jurisdiction over final judgments and certain interlocutory orders

as authorized by statute. See Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001). A

final judgment is one that disposes of all parties and claims. See id.

In a letter filed on January 23, 2018, appellant acknowledges receipt of this Court’s

December 19th letter. Appellant states in the letter that he has no knowledge of this appeal.

Appellant has not shown there is a final judgment or other appealable order for this Court to review. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
