Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, ROBERT PEREZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from the trial court=s denial of his application for writ of habeas corpus in cause no. 01-CR-2731-E. The clerk=s record was received on April 18, 2002.

Upon review of the clerk=s record, there did not appear to be an appealable order. Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant requested and was granted an extension of time to May 20, 2002, to correct the defect. To date, appellant has failed to correct the defect or further respond to this Court=s notice.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s failure to correct the defect, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
