M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant Michael J. Turley filed a notice of appeal on November 24, 2003. On December 29, 2003, Joe Latham d/b/a Colonial Commercial Investment Management filed a notice of cross appeal. The clerk's record was also filed on December 29. Neither party paid the filing fee, filed a docketing statement, or requested the preparation of a reporter's record. The appellant's brief was due to be filed on January 28, 2004, but was not. On February 18, the Court sent written notice to appellant that unless an appellant's brief or other response was received by January 12 the appeal would be dismissed. Appellant has not filed a brief or otherwise responded to the notices of the Court.

Therefore, this entire appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
