Victor T. Serrano v. Manuel Ramos

Opinion

NUMBER 13-13-00476-CV

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI C EDINBURG

VICTOR T. SERRANO, Appellant,

v.

MANUEL RAMOS, Appellee.

On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF Before Justices Garza, Benavides, and Perkes Order Per Curiam

This cause is before the Court on appellant’s motion to abate appeal and remand

to trial court for entry of findings of fact and conclusions of law and motion for extension

of time to file brief. The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's motion

to abate appeal and remand for findings of fact and conclusions of law, DENIES the

motion. Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on December 23, 2013, and this

Court has previously granted appellant three extensions for the filing of appellant’s brief

in this cause. Appellant has now filed his fourth motion requesting additional time to file

the appellate brief in this cause. Appellant’s motion for extension of time to file the brief

is GRANTED. The Court, however, looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by

counsel's failure to timely file a brief in this matter. The Honorable Victoria Guerra,

counsel for appellant, is hereby ORDERED to file the appellate brief with this Court on or

before June 19, 2014.

The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to serve a copy of this order on the Honorable

Victoria Guerra by certified mail, return receipt requested.

Delivered and filed the 13th day of May, 2014.
