             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
