CORNELIUS AUSTIN LONG, JR., Appellant

V.

COMMISSION FOR LAWYER DISCIPLINE, Appellee

On Appeal from the 269th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2009-24590

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            This is an appeal from a judgment signed November 18, 2009.  The clerk’s record was filed May 6, 2010.  The reporter’s record was filed May 3, 2010.  Appellant’s brief was originally due June 7, 2010, but it was not filed.  Appellant was granted two extensions of time to file his brief until September 30, 2010.  No brief or further motion for extension of time has been filed. 

            On November 4, 2010, this court issued an order stating that unless appellant filed his brief and a motion reasonably explaining why the brief was late, on or before November 19, 2010, the court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  Appellant had not filed a brief or any other response to the court’s order.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Seymore, Boyce and Christopher.
