                                     Sheham El-Sabrout, Appellee


        FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 126TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
             NO. 96-13921, HONORABLE DARLENE BYRNE, JUDGE PRESIDING




                 The district court rendered judgment in this cause on January 26, 2000, and signed the final

order on October 8, 2001. Appellant filed a notice of appeal, a copy of which was received by the clerk of

this Court on January 7, 2002. However, appellant had filed a motion for new trial. See Tex. R. Civ. P.

329b(a). The clerk of this Court received notice that the motion was granted by the district court on

January 10, 2002. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(c), (d). As a result, there is no final judgment before this

Court. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
