MICHAEL RODGERS, SR., Appellant

V.

DR. RODERICK L. MITCHELL, Appellee

On Appeal from the 76th Judicial District Court
Morris County, Texas
Trial Court No. 20,470

Before Morriss, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ.
Opinion by Justice Ross

O P I N I O N

	Michael Rodgers, Sr., has appealed from a take-nothing judgment in his lawsuit
against Dr. Roderick L. Mitchell.  On June 27, 2002, we affirmed the trial court's denial of
his claim to be indigent and associated request for preparation of a free record in this case. 
His motion for rehearing has now been overruled.
	This is the appeal from the underlying judgment.  When we issued our opinion
concerning his indigency, we also wrote to Rodgers and directed him to show this Court,
within twenty days of the date of our letter, that he had requested preparation of the clerk's
and reporter's records and that he was making a positive effort to proceed with the appeal. 
We warned him that, if he did not show this Court he was making such an effort, his appeal
would be subject to dismissal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
	Sixty days have now elapsed since the date of our letter.  Rodgers has not
contacted this Court to show he has made any effort to proceed with this appeal.
	The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.

                                                              Hunt County, Texas

Court No. 68,224
 
                                                                                                  

 
 
                                          Before Morriss, C.J.,
Carter and Moseley, JJ.
                                              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
            On this date,
we issued an order lifting our abatement and reinstating this appeal on our
docket.
            This appeal
was brought from Hunt County, over which both the Texarkana and Dallas Courts
of Appeals have jurisdiction.  Competing
notices of appeals were filed in this Court and in the Dallas court.  The Dallas court issued an order determining
that the notice of appeal filed there was the first appeal to be perfected;
finding no authority to suggest the Dallas courts conclusion was incorrect, we
deferred to the ruling of that court.  On
June 24, 2008, we abated this appeal until either the Texas Supreme Court
ordered the appeal to proceed in this Court or until final disposition of cause
number 05-08-00576-CV pending in the Fifth Court of Appeals.  Because the Dallas court has now issued its
opinion in this matter and the Texas Supreme Court has denied the petition for
review, all matters in controversy have been disposed of.
            We,
therefore, dismiss the appeal.
