MEMORANDUM OPINION

------------

        Appellant Steven C. Jenkins filed a timely notice of appeal indicating that he wished to appeal from a contempt judgment. We sent Appellant a letter stating our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because contempt judgments are usually not appealable. We requested that Appellant respond to the question of whether an appeal is proper in his case. He has not done so. The contempt judgment is not appealable. We therefore dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.

                                                                           PER CURIAM

PANEL D:   DAUPHINOT, HOLMAN, and GARDNER, JJ.

DELIVERED: October 16, 2003
