MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

------------

Appellant Vecentie Sontiago Morales, Jr. appeals from the trial court’s  order dismissing the case against him.  Absent some exceptions not relevant to this case, this court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant when there has been a final judgment of conviction.
(footnote: 2)  We sent a letter to Appellant on November 23, 2004, requesting a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal because it appeared we lacked jurisdiction.  The response does not present any grounds for continuing this appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
