On February 13, 2002, we notified appellant, in accordance with rule 42.3, that the notice of appeal was not timely filed and that we would dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.
