                     TRIAL COURT NO. 14-09634-211

                                    ----------

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

                                    ----------

      Appellant Carl Chadwick Snell perfected an appeal from a protective order

imposed against him for the protection of Appellee Patricia L. Paskow. Appellant

died. The State of Texas, who represented Appellee in obtaining the protective

order, moved to dismiss the trial court cause in the interest of justice based on

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Appellant’s death, and the trial court dismissed the trial court cause.       We

received a copy of the motion and order, and we verified Appellant’s death. We

then sent a letter to the State and to Appellant’s estate indicating that we would

dismiss this appeal absent a response showing grounds for continuing it. We

have received no response. Accordingly, because there is nothing left to appeal,

we dismiss this appeal as moot. 2
