<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>	Appellant, Saturnino Ramos, Jr., appeals from a judgment of the trial court in favor
of appellee Ches-Lee Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a American Fireworks.  However, because appellant
has failed to pay a filing fee or file an affidavit of indigency, we will dismiss this appeal for want
of prosecution on our own motion.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 42.3 (b),(c).</P>
