COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

ORDER ON MOTION

Cause number: 01-15-00590-CV Style: In re Patrick Kent Lindsay Jones Date motion filed*: January 11, 2016 Type of motion: First Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief Parties filing motion: Pro Se Appellant Document to be filed: Appellant’s Brief

Is appeal accelerated? No.

If motion to extend time: Original due date: December 14, 2015 Number of extensions granted: 0 Current Due Date: December 14, 2015 Date Requested: April 10, 2016 (119 days from December 14, 2015)

Ordered that motion is:  Granted in part If document is to be filed, document due: March 14, 2016.  No further extensions of time will be granted.  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ Because appellant failed to timely file his brief, which was due by December 14, 2015, after the clerk’s record was filed on November 12, 2015, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant on December 30, 2015, that his appeal was subject to dismissal unless he filed a brief and extension within 10 days of that notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a)(1), (d). However, because appellant is pro se and seeks time to retain counsel, his motion for extension of time to file his brief is granted in part for 90 days, but no further extensions will be granted given the length of the extension. See id. 10.5(b)(1)(B), (C). Accordingly, if appellant’s brief is not filed by March 14, 2016, this appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See id. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3.
