Appellees also make the factually correct, albeit grammatically questionable, representation that:

"Appellant has has (sic) filed a notice of appeal with the Clerk of the Superior Court. " (Motion to Dismiss, bottom of page 1.) (See Attachment A hereto.)

Since it is apparent from Attachment A that Appellant did file a notice of appeal on April 25, 1986 (see Response to Appellees' Opposition to Motion for Summary Reversal filed this date, p. 1), Appellees lack any grounds for this Motion to Dismiss and Appellant therefore respectfully requests the motion be denied.
