                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      Appellant, a vexatious litigant subject to a prefiling order, filed this appeal

without an order from the local administrative judge granting him permission to

appeal. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. §§ 11.101, 11.102. Accordingly,

we directed appellant to file a copy of the order granting him permission. See id. §

11.1035(b). Although we cautioned appellant that failure to comply within ten days

would result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, more than ten days

have passed and appellant has not responded. See id.
     We, therefore, dismiss the appeal. See id.
