RICHARD DEAN BAKER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 5th Judicial District Court
Cass County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2001-F-00124

Before Cornelius, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ.
Opinion by Chief Justice Cornelius

O P I N I O N

	Richard Dean Baker pleaded guilty to delivery of cocaine in an amount greater than one gram
and less than four grams, which was enhanced by a prior felony conviction.  The trial court sentenced
him to fifteen years' imprisonment on November 5, 2001.  Baker did not file a timely motion for new
trial; therefore, his notice of appeal was due by December 5, 2001, or with a proper request for an
extension, by December 20, 2001.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3.  Baker did not file his pro se
notice of appeal until January 23, 2002.  Because Baker did not file a timely notice of appeal, this
Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.  Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App.
1996). (1) 
	The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

1. In Olivo, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals noted that the denial of a meaningful appeal
because of ineffective assistance of counsel is a proper ground for habeas corpus relief.  Olivo v.
State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 525 n.8 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
            Appellant,
William F. Callejo, Trustee, and appellee, Republic Property Company, Inc.,
have filed with this Court a joint motion to vacate the trial courts final
judgment and remand the case to the trial court.[1]  The parties represent to this Court that they
have reached a full and final settlement. 
In such a case, no real controversy exists, and in the absence of a
controversy, the appeal is moot.
            The parties
have also requested that we issue our mandate immediately.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 18.1(c).
            We grant the
motion.  We set aside, without regard to
the merits, the judgment of the trial court and remand the case to the trial
court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement.  See
Tex. R. App. P.
42.1(a)(2)(B).  Our mandate shall issue
immediately.

[1]Originally appealed to the Twelfth Court of Appeals,
this case was transferred to this Court by the Texas Supreme Court pursuant to
its docket equalization efforts.  See Tex.
Govt Code Ann. § 73.001 (West 2005). 
We are unaware of any conflict between precedent of the Twelfth Court of
Appeals and that of this Court on any relevant issue.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 41.3.
