John Mark Quaak, Appellant v. Wanda Isbell, Appellee (2011)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant John Mark Quaak filed his notice of appeal on July 21, 2011.   The notice of appeal appeared to refer to an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas denying a motion to amend a complaint.   On July 26, 2011, this Court confirmed that there is a case pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, Civil Action No. H–10–4375, styled John Mark Quaak v. Wanda Isbell.   On June 9, 2011, the district judge presiding over that cause signed an order denying Quaak's second motion to amend his complaint.   Because Quaak's appeal is from an order signed by a federal judge in a federal action, this Court does not have jurisdiction over this appeal.   We therefore dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

J. Woodfin Jones, Chief Justice
