M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            Appellant Billy Karl Hill appeals from an order assessing court costs, fees and/or fines signed December 8, 2009.  See Tex. Gov’t Code §501.014(e) (requiring the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to pay costs assessed against an inmate from the inmate’s trust account).  The clerk’s record was filed February 8, 2010.  The court reporter advised this court that no record was made of the proceedings below.  Appellant has not filed a brief or requested an extension of time to file his brief.

            On June 10, 2010, this court issued an order stating that unless appellant filed his brief, together with a motion reasonably explaining why the brief was late, on or before June 25, 2010, the court would dismiss the appeals for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  Appellant filed no response.

            Accordingly, the appeals are ordered dismissed.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Hedges and Justices Yates and Boyce.
