Mary
Lewis sued Beaumont Bone and Joint Institute, P.A. seeking damages in excess of
$500,000 for injuries she allegedly received as a result of the Institute=s negligence with regard to its automatic
sprinkler system.  On May 4, 2007, the
trial court signed a judgment  granting
the Institute=s no evidence motion for summary judgment
and dismissing Lewis=s claims with prejudice.  Thirty-two days later, Lewis filed a notice
of appeal on June 5, 2007.

When the
clerk=s record was received in this court, the
clerk wrote the parties notifying them that it appeared an appeal had not been
timely perfected under Tex. R.App. P.
26.1 and requesting that Lewis respond on or before August 15, 2007,
showing grounds for continuing the appeal and proof of timely mailing if
applicable.  The Institute has responded
by filing a motion to dismiss.  Lewis has
not responded to either the motion or to our letter.
The
motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.
