CHRISTOPHER K. SCHMOTZER,
                                                         Appellant
v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                         Appellee


                          From the 85th District Court
                              Brazos County, Texas
                         Trial Court No. 09-1287-CRF-85


                          MEMORANDUM OPINION


      Christopher K. Schmotzer appeals the trial court’s order denying Schmotzer’s

motion for DNA testing signed on August 31, 2015.     Schmotzer’s notice of appeal is

untimely. The notice was due September 30, 2015. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). The

notice of appeal was filed on December 23, 2015.

      This Court has no jurisdiction over an appeal where the notice of appeal is

untimely. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Accordingly,
this appeal is dismissed.1           Schmotzer’s motion to suspend the rule regarding the

number of copies filed is dismissed as moot.
