MICHAEL EVERETT BALL APPELLEE’S MOTION TO DISMISS APPELLANT APPEAL [WASHINGTON COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, 72CR-10-1933, 72CR- V. 11-57]
STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE WILLIAM A. STOREY, APPELLEE JUDGE
MOTION GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
On November 18, 2013, appellant Michael Everett Ball lodged an appeal in this court
from a circuit court order that had denied and dismissed his pro se petition for postconviction
relief pursuant to Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1 (2012). The appellee State now
asks that the appeal be dismissed for appellant’s failure to submit a brief.
Appellant was informed that his brief-in-chief was due here no later than December 30,
2013. As of the date of this opinion, he has not tendered a brief or filed a motion to file a
belated brief. He has taken no action to pursue the appeal.
Failure of an appellant who is acting pro se to file a brief in an appeal is cause for
dismissal of the appeal. Farnsworth v. State, 2013 Ark. 484 (per curiam); Butler v. Hobbs, 2012 Ark.
