JERRY LEWIS FORD, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 338th District Court 
 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1026104, 1026105, 104332, and 104733

MEMORANDUM  OPINION ON PERMANENT ABATEMENT
	On May 9, 2007, the State filed a motion to permanently abate the above-
referenced appeals.  See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1 (a) (2).  In support of its motion, the State
attached a certified copy of the certificate of death for Jerry Lewis Ford, the appellant. 
The certificate states that appellant died on December 5, 2006.
	The death of an appellant during the pendency of an appeal deprives this court
of jurisdiction.  Moliter v. State, 862 S.W.2d 615, 616 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993).  
	We grant the State's motion and order these appeals permanently abated.
	We deny all pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Hanks, and Bland.
Do not publish.  Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
