IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF: KATHLEEN ELLEN SAWFER, Petitioner and Appellee, and CHRISTOPHER PAUL SAWFER, Respondent and Appellant.
ORDER
On February 2, 2022, this Court ordered self-represented Appellant Christopher Paul Sawfer (Christopher) to file a report on the status of this appeal and his payment of the transcript fees on or before February 17, 2022, or face summary dismissal of this appeal. Christopher provided the requested status report on February 15, 2022. In that report, Christopher explained that he wished to dismiss his appeal; however, he had contacted counsel representing Appellee Kathleen Ellen Sawfer (Kathleen) in accordance with M. R. App. P. 16(1) and counsel was not responsive to his inquiry as to whether Kathleen would object to dismissal.
We deemed Christopher's request as a motion to dismiss this appeal and provided Kathleen with the opportunity to file any objections no later than March 7, 2022.
Kathleen has responded and indicated she has no objection to dismissal of this appeal.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that that the motion to dismiss this appeal is GRANTED, and this appeal is DISMISSED with prejudice.
The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to Appellant Christopher Paul Sawfer and to all counsel of record.
