V.

DR. WOLLEY OLADUT, Appellee

On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 2

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 308,018-401

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

Appellant is apparently appealing the trial court=s order granting appellee=s motion for summary judgment signed April 8, 2005.^[1]  Appellant filed a motion for new trial or to reinstate on April 27, 2005.  The clerk=s record was filed on September 6, 2005.  Appellant=s brief was originally due October 6, 2005.  The court granted appellant two extensions of time to file his brief until November 30, 2005.  The court noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances.  No brief or further motion for extension was filed by the deadline.  Accordingly, on December 15, 2005, the court issued an order stating that unless appellant filed his brief with a motion reasonably explaining why the brief was late on or before December 30, 2005, the court would dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  Appellant filed no response.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
