Motion Granted; Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March
28, 2024

In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-24-00160-CV

DELESTER SCOTT, Appellant
V.

STEVEN MAISOS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 129th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2023-33118

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an attempted interlocutory appeal from the denial of a no-evidence
motion for summary judgment. Absent certain exceptions that do not apply here,
an appellate court does not have jurisdiction to hear denied motions for summary
judgment on appeal. Ackermann v. Vordenbaum, 403 S.W.2d 362, 365 (Tex.1966);
William Marsh Rice Univ. v. Coleman, 291 S.W.3d 43, 45 (Tex. App.—Houston
[14th Dist.] 2009, pet. dism’d).
On March 6, 2024, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction. The record supports appellee’s motion. Appellant filed no response.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Zimmerer and Wilson.
