in Re: Ralph O. Douglas

Opinion issued August 8, 2002 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ____________ NO. 01-02-00778-CV ____________ IN RE RALPH O. DOUGLAS, Relator Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus O P I N I O N Relator, Ralph O. Douglas, has filed a petition for writ of mandamus complaining of the 129th District Court's failure to rule on his February 4, 2002 motion for default judgment in cause number 2001-55507. Because relator's petition is neither verified nor includes an appendix containing a certified or sworn copy of the order complained of, as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.3, and because relator has provided no sworn or certified record containing the pleadings and the motion at issue, as required by rule 52.7, there is nothing for this Court to review. See Johnson v. Sandel, 895 S.W.2d 490, 491 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1996, orig. proceeding). We deny the petition for writ of mandamus. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Hedges, Jennings, and Keyes. Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.
