                                    Trial Court Cause No. F00-45450-S

                                         MEMORANDUM OPINION ·
                                      Before Justices Fillmore, Myers, and Evans
                                               Opinion by Justice Evans                                     )(
          Gary Eugene Sims was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a ~hild and sentenced to

life imprisonment. His conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. Sims v. State, No. 08-01-

00121-CR, 2002 WL 1482389 (Tex. App.-El Paso July 11,2002, pet. refd) (not designated for

publication).' This Court dismissed for want of jurisdiction appellant's pro se appeal from the

trial court's orders denying certain post-conviction motions both because his notice of appeal

was untimely as to the orders and because the orders were not appealable. Sims v. State, No. 05-

1~-01438-CR,          2014 WL 6453607 (Tex. App.-Dallas Nov. 18, 2014, no pet.) (not designated

for publication).



     1
       The appeal was transferred from this Court to the Eighth District Court of Appeals at El Paso pursuant to a Texas Supreme Court docket
equalization order.
