       Comes JAMES R. COLLEY, Appellant, and files this Motion to Dismiss and in support,
would show:

       1.      Notice of Appeal was filed on behalf of Appellant with the understanding that
Appellant would not be represented by his trial attorney in the appeal and that Appellant would
seek representation.

      2.      Appellant has determined, after further consideration, that the appeal is not
economically feasible and that the appeal should be dismissed.

       3.      Appellant does not desire to pursue the appeal and requests that it be dismissed.

       WHEREFORE, Appellant requests that the Court dismiss this case.

                                             Respectfully Submitted
