       v.                                                             ORDER

BILL BRENT BOKMA.

              Defendant and Appellant.

      Bill Brent Bokma appears on his own behalf and moves this Court for dismissal of
his appeal due to his medical condition and his concern about his criminal case number
being changed on his paperwork.
      Bokma appeals a July 28, 2023 Order revoking his previous sentence and imposing
a sentence upon revocation for violations of his probation, issued in the Eighth Judicial
District Court, Cascade County (Cause No. ADC-20-773). We point out that Bokma's
Notice of Appeal had the incorrect cause number which the Clerk of the Supreme Court
must correct in order to have the appropriate court record on appeal. Regardless of
Bokma's filing, we conclude that he presents good cause for his voluntary dismissal of this
appeal. Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that Bokma's Motion to Dismiss Appeal is GRANTED and this
this appeal is DISMISSED without prejudice.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to counsel of record and to Bill
Brent Bokma personally.
                     `e•-•
      DATED this        day of September, 2023.
