PER CURIAM

ORDER
On January 10, 2002, the State filed a motion requesting that this Court “dissolve” the stay of execution issued on March 29, 2001, and reset an execution date for Philip Ray Workman. In the alternative, should the Court leave the stay in effect, the State requested that the Court assume jurisdiction of any appeal pursuant to Tenn. Code. Ann. § 16-3-201(d)(3).

After due consideration, the motion to dissolve the stay and reset an execution date is DENIED. In addition, the motion requesting that the Court assume jurisdiction under Tenn. Code. Ann. § 16-3-201(d)(3) is DENIED.

Justice Barker would deny the motion to assume jurisdiction for the reason that no notice of appeal has been filed in any court at this time.
