Walter Lee Hall, Jr.; KWI Legal Defense Fund; and KWI Communications LLC d/b/a KWI Hold,
No.03-07-00465-CV (Tex.App.- Austin, Dec. 13, 2007)(Opinion by Justice Puryear )(temporary injuction interlocutory appeal) (Before Justices Patterson, Puryear and Pemberton)

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 53RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO.
D-1-GN-07-001548, HONORABLE STEPHEN YELENOSKY, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellants filed an appeal from the trial court's granting of a temporary injunction in favor of appellee. Appellee has since filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, attaching a copy of a final judgment signed by the trial court on September 14, 2007, imposing a permanent injunction against appellants and terminating the temporary injunction at issue in this appeal. The supreme court has held that "[i]f, while on the appeal of the granting or denying of the temporary injunction, the trial court renders final judgment, the case on appeal becomes moot. When a case becomes moot on appeal, all previous orders pertaining to the temporary injunction are set aside by the appellate court and the case is dismissed." Isuani v. Manske-Sheffield, 802 SW2d 235, 236 (Tex. 1991) (citations omitted).

We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal, stating that the trial court's later ruling rendered the appeal moot. Appellee, who earlier filed a motion seeking to have the appeal dismissed for want of jurisdiction, has filed a motion opposing the dismissal of the appeal until we assess sanctions against appellant. We overrule appellee's motion for sanctions, but will assess all costs on appeal against appellant. We grant appellant's motion and dismiss the appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2). We further grant Susan Norman's emergency motion to withdraw as appellant's counsel, leaving appellant's additional retained attorney, Andres P. Chaumont, as counsel.

Appellant filed his notice of appeal on May 8, 2007. The clerk's record was filed on May 16. On August 20, 2007, the Clerk of this Court sent appellant notice that his brief was overdue and informed him that unless he filed a motion for an extension of time by August 31, the appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. Appellant has not responded to this or other communications from this Court. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant John Koo-Hyun Kim filed a notice of appeal, apparently seeking to appeal from the trial court's order granting appellees' motions for a continuance of a June 4, 2007 trial setting. Because we lack jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal, we dismiss the cause for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Generally, courts of appeals may only exercise jurisdiction over appeals from final orders or judgments. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) ("A judgment is final for purposes of appeal if it disposes of all pending parties and claims in the record, except as necessary to carry out the decree."). There are certain statutory exceptions to this rule, which explicitly allow interlocutory appeals from non-final orders. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2006) (listing permissible interlocutory appeals).

An appeal from a trial court's granting of a motion for continuance and delay of a trial setting may not be reviewed by interlocutory appeal. See In re A.J.L., No. 02-04-00050-CV, 2004 Tex. App. LEXIS 4993, at *1 (Tex. App.--Fort Worth, June 3, 2004, no pet) (mem. op.); Lovall v. Yen, No. 14-01-01108-CV, 2002 Tex. App. LEXIS 354, at *1-3 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.] Jan. 17, 2002, no pet.) (not designated for publication).

Appellant seeks to appeal from the trial court's order granting a continuance to appellees. We may not consider this complaint in an interlocutory appeal. Therefore, we must dismiss this cause for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Appeal from 250th District Court of Travis County

NO.
D-1-GN-06-004538, HONORABLE LORA J. LIVINGSTON, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant John Koo Hyun Kim filed a notice of appeal, seeking to appeal from the trial court's order granting appellee United Central Bank's motion to transfer venue. We have reviewed the clerk's record filed in this cause and because we lack jurisdiction over this interlocutory appeal, we dismiss the cause for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Generally, courts of appeals may exercise jurisdiction of appeals from final orders or judgments only. Lehmann v. Har-Con Corp., 39 S.W.3d 191, 195 (Tex. 2001) ("A judgment is final for purposes of appeal if it disposes of all pending parties and claims in the record, except as necessary to carry out the decree."). There are certain statutory exceptions to this rule, which explicitly provide for an interlocutory appeal from a non-final order. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 51.014 (West Supp. 2006) (listing permissible interlocutory appeals). An appeal from a trial court's venue determination may not be reviewed by interlocutory appeal. Id. § 15.064(a) (West 2002) (no interlocutory appeal from trial court's determination of venue); Electronic Data Sys. Corp. v. Pioneer Elecs. (USA) Inc., 68 S.W.3d 254, 257 (Tex. App.--Fort Worth 2002, no pet.).

Appellant seeks to appeal from the trial court's interlocutory order transferring venue from Travis County to Dallas County. We may not consider this complaint in an interlocutory appeal. Therefore, we must dismiss this cause for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
