MEMORANDUM OPINION1
 
------------
        Appellant 
Vecentie Sontiago Morales, Jr. appeals from the trial court’s order dismissing 
the case against him.  Absent some exceptions not relevant to this case, 
this court only has jurisdiction to consider an appeal by a criminal defendant 
when there has been a final judgment of conviction.2  
We sent a letter to Appellant on November 23, 2004, requesting a response 
showing grounds for continuing the appeal because it appeared we lacked 
jurisdiction.  The response does not present any grounds for continuing 
this appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.3
