Appellant, Daniel Ryan Norton, filed his notice of appeal on January 31, 2024

Appellant was notified that a docketing statement is required to be completed and

appeal if a docketing statement was not filed within twenty-one days. See id. at R. 42.3(c).

More than twenty-one days have passed, and we have not received the docketing
