               On October 26, 2001, appellant John King filed a notice of appeal. On November 2,

this Court requested that appellant pay his filing fees. On December 11, the clerk’s record was

overdue, appellant still had not paid his filing fees, and this Court requested that appellant submit a

letter regarding the status of his appeal. On December 19, appellant’s attorney informed the Court

by letter that appellant no longer wants to prosecute an appeal.

               The appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
