                   Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo

                                       Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, LOUIE PAPAKOSTAS, attempted to perfect an appeal from the trial court=s denial of bond, in cause no. 86-CR-1564-A.  The clerk=s record was received on August 12, 2002. 

Upon review of the clerk=s record, it appeared that the order from which  this appeal was taken was not contained in the clerk=s record.  Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done.  Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this notice, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  To date, appellant has failed to correct the defect.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s failure to correct the defect, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
