                                MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------

This court affirmed Appellant=s convictions for
aggravated sexual assault, aggravated robbery, and aggravated kidnapping in
2004, and mandate has already issued.[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.[3]  Appellant=s response does
not show grounds for continuing the appeal. 
Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction.[4]
