                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                                       ------------

Appellant Tom Franklin filed a notice of appeal from the trial court=s AOrder to Proceed with Notice of Foreclosure Sale and Foreclosure Sale.@  Because we were concerned that we did not have jurisdiction over this appeal, we notified Appellant that his appeal could be dismissed unless he filed a timely response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  Appellant=s response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal.

Rule of civil procedure 736(8)(A) provides that an order granting or denying a home equity foreclosure application under rule 736 is not appealable.^[2]  The order Appellant seeks to appeal grants the home equity foreclosure application filed by Appellee U.S. Bank National Association.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.^[3]
