                                                                  Eastland, Texas

                                                             Memorandum Opinion

David B. Smith

Appellant

Vs.                   No. 11-02-00273-CV B Appeal from Taylor County

Conseco Finance Services Corp. f/k/a         

Green Tree Financial Servicing Corporation             

Appellee

Conseco Finance Services Corp. f/k/a Green Tree Financial Servicing Corporation sued David B. Smith seeking a writ of possession on a manufactured home that Smith had purchased with a retail installment contract with Conseco.  The trial court issued the writ on August 16, 2002.  Smith then perfected this appeal.

Smith=s brief was originally due to be filed on May 27, 2003.  Smith requested and received one extension of time.  On June 26, 2003, the clerk of this court wrote the parties notifying them that failure by Smith to file his brief by August 11, 2003, could result in the dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution.  As of this date, we have received neither a response to our June 26 letter nor Smith=s brief.  Therefore, this appeal is dismissed for want of prosecution.
