Jens Lorenz and John Shavers v. Sunbelt Equipment Marketing, Inc.

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-11-00078-CV
JENS LORENZ AND JOHN SHAVERS,
Appellants
v.
SUNBELT EQUIPMENT MARKETING, INC.,
Appellee
From the 272nd District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 06-001763-CV-272
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jens Lorenz and John Shavers attempt to appeal from an order denying their plea
to the jurisdiction. By letter dated March 30, 2011, the Clerk of this Court notified
Lorenz and Shavers that the appeal was subject to dismissal because it appeared the
trial court’s order was not an appealable order. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN.
§51.014(a)(8) (West 2008) (“A person may appeal from an interlocutory order … that
grants or denies a plea to the jurisdiction by a governmental unit….”) (emphasis added).
Lorenz and Shavers did not appear to be a governmental unit. The Clerk also warned
Lorenz and Shavers that the appeal would be dismissed unless, within 21 days of the
date of the letter, a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3, 44.3. We have not received a response from Lorenz and Shavers.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
