Agbolade Odutayo v. Richards Memorial Hospital

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-13-00020-CV

Agbolade Odutayo, Appellant v.

Richards Memorial Hospital, et al., Appellees

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. CV32,075, HONORABLE JAN P. PATTERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed on January 7, 2013, and the appellate record was complete on April 1, making appellant’s brief due May 1. Appellant attempted to file two motions seeking an extension of time, but both were rejected because they did not comply with the rules of appellate procedure. On August 8, acting on our own motion, we issued an order requiring appellant to file a brief, along with a proper motion for extension of time, no later than August 26, cautioning that a failure to file by that date would result in the dismissal of the appeal. To date, appellant has not filed a brief or motion or otherwise responded to our order.

We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
