Opinion

Order entered March 29, 2019

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00954-CV

IN THE MATTER OF THE MARRIAGE OF LORIE RUTH BAKER AND GREGORY JOSEPH FINSTER

On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-17-13669

ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s March 25, 2019 motion to extend time to file his brief. By

order dated March 25, 2019, we suspended the deadline for appellant’s brief on the merits

pending the filing of, by April 1, 2019, a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Without a timely notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this

appeal. See id. 25.1(b). Accordingly, we DENY appellant’s motion as premature.

A motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal remains due by April 1, 2019.

We again caution appellant that failure to comply may result in dismissal of the appeal without

further notice.
