APPEAL DISMISSED FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION

           Appellant’s brief was due on November 28, 2016. On November 28, 2016, appellant

informed this court that he would file a motion for an extension of time in which to file his brief.

that if he failed to file a brief or the motion by December 22, 2016, we would dismiss the appeal

involuntary dismissal if appellant has failed to comply with a court order). Neither a motion

requesting an extension of time nor a brief have been filed.

       Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
