                         MEMORANDUM OPINION1

                                      ----------

      Appellant Frederick D. Pimpton appeals from the trial court’s order denying his

motion for judgment nunc pro tunc. In late June 2012, we informed Appellant by

letter of our concern that we do not have jurisdiction over his appeal because the

order denying his motion does not appear to be an appealable order, and we stated

that his appeal could be dismissed unless he or any party filed within ten days a

response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.           We have received no

response.

      Because an order denying a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc is not

appealable,2 we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.3
