David Tafokitau v. Wilshire Manor, LLC

In the Court of Appeals

Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________

No. 02-21-00040-CV ___________________________ DAVID TAFOKITAU, Appellant

V. WILSHIRE MANOR, LLC, Appellee On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1

Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 2021-000345-1

Before Sudderth, C.J.; Kerr and Birdwell, JJ.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT On July 29, 2021, we notified appellant that his brief had not been filed as the appellate rules require. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). We stated that we could dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution unless, within ten days, appellant filed with the court an appellant’s brief and an accompanying motion reasonably explaining the brief’s untimely filing and why an extension was needed. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b). We have received no response.

Because appellant has failed to file a brief even after we afforded an opportunity to explain the initial failure, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), 43.2(f).

Per Curiam Delivered: August 26, 2021
