FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, NO. D-1-FM-13-001416, THE HONORABLE DARLENE BYRNE, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE PER CURIAM This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of W. W. The subject of this proceeding is John M. Sigman, appellant’s attorney.

Therefore, it is hereby ordered that John M. Sigman shall appear in person before this Court on Friday, December 19, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., in the Third Court of Appeals courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for his failure to obey our November 13, 2014 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Sigman will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief on or before December 17, 2014.
