Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Ruth Elizabeth Johnson filed a notice of appeal from her divorce from William Richard Johnson, III, on November 8, 2013. Despite our communications with counsel, no docketing statement has been filed, and the filing fee has not been paid. There is also no claim of indigence, and we have received a copy of an email from the district clerk indicating that the party has decided not to pursue the appeal. On December 27, we sent Johnson a letter warning that the appeal would be subject to dismissal unless an effort was made to prosecute the appeal by paying the required fees and filing a docketing statement. Any response was due on or before January 6, 2014. We have received nothing. We dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: January 22, 2014 January 23, 2014 2
