MEMORANDUM OPINION

FRY, Chief Judge.

Respondent appeals several rulings in this domestic relations matter. In this Court’s notice of proposed summary disposition, we proposed to dismiss for lack of a final order. Respondent has filed a memorandum in support of our proposed summary dismissal of the case, as well as a motion that asks the Court to retain the record proper for use in any appeal that is filed once a final order is entered.

We dismiss this appeal for lack of a final order and we grant Respondent’s motion to retain the record proper. As this appeal has been dismissed, in any subsequent appeal Respondent may wish to file, he will have to file a new notice of appeal and docketing statement, and will have to supplement the record in accordance with the Rules of Appellate Procedure.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

CYNTHIA A. FRY, Chief Judge

CELIA FOY CASTILLO, Judge
