MEMORANDUM OPINION

 John Wieder sued Willie Mae Elmore in her capacity as President of the Board of
Trustees for the Port Arthur Independent School District.  The trial court dismissed the suit
for lack of jurisdiction.  Wieder filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief. We notified
the parties that the appeal would be submitted without oral argument. See Tex. R. App. P.
39.9.  In the absence of a brief assigning error, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. 
See  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1).
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
