Order on Notice to Withdraw Notice of Appeal

________________________________

Before QUINN, REAVIS and JOHNSON, JJ.

Before this court pends the motion by J.Y. Jr. (J.T.) McAdams (McAdams) to withdraw his notice of appeal, which notice was filed on July 11, 2001.  He so moved because he believed the notice was premature, but expressly reserves the opportunity to file another notice within the time permitted by law. ^{(footnote: 1)}   Construing the notice as a motion to dismiss without prejudice, we grant same.  Accordingly, it is ordered that the appeal be dismissed without prejudice to anyone filing a later, timely notice of appeal.  Having dismissed the appeal at the personal request of McAdams, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and mandate shall issue forthwith.

                                         Per Curiam.
