COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

NO. 2-07-025-CR

FROM THE 30TH
 DISTRICT COURT OF WICHITA COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

------------

This court affirmed Appellant’s convictions for aggravated sexual assault, aggravated robbery, and aggravated kidnapping in 2004, and mandate has already issued.
(footnote: 2)  In January 2007, Appellant requested that the trial court  unseal medical records submitted during the trial on the merits resulting in his convictions so that he might use them to obtain postappellate relief.  The trial court denied Appellant’s motion, and he filed a notice of appeal attempting to appeal from that order.  We sent a letter to Appellant requesting a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, as it appeared we lacked jurisdiction because no statute authorizes an appeal from such an order.  We also note that this court does not have jurisdiction in postconviction habeas matters.
(footnote: 3)  Appellant’s response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.  
Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction.
