OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------

Appellant Gregory D. Rowe is
attempting to appeal from an order of a Justice of the Peace which grants a
motion for continuance for a hearing on a pauper=s affidavit.  On April 4, 2007,
we notified Appellant of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over the
appeal and that, unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the
appeal, the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction.[2]  Appellant=s response does not show grounds for continuing this appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want
of jurisdiction.[3]
