trial court's orders denying certain post-conviction motions both because his notice of appeal

was untimely as to the orders and because the orders were not appealable. Sims v. State, No. 05-

       The appeal was transferred from this Court to the Eighth District Court of Appeals at El Paso pursuant to a Texas Supreme Court docket
equalization order.
