       MOTION FOR REHEARING ON DISMISSAL FOR WANT OF
                      JURISDICTTION

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes Lennis Terrance Owens, appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, and moves for rehearing on the Court’s order of dismissal, and

for good cause shows the following:

      1.     This appeal is related only to the denial of a motion for new trial by

the trial court. Prior filings by Appellant submit that the appeal was limited to

issues that may be present from that proceeding.

      2.     The reporter’s record has yet to have been prepared and filed.

Appellate counsel was not trial counsel, and has not had the opportunity to review

the record in regard to the new trial hearing.

      3.     Appellant would respectfully submit that the dismissal is premature

and in error in regards to want of jurisdiction, as the appeal relates to matter

purportedly not waived by the Appellant.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully requests an

rehearing and reconsideration of the dismissal by this court on the basis of want of

jurisdiction.

                                      Respectfully submitted,

                                      STEPHEN EVANS
