Anthony Saint Val v. Patricia Hill, Vice-President of Glencairn Association Board of Directors

Motion Denied and Order and Dissent to Order filed December 16, 2021.

In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-20-00811-CV ANTHONY SAINT VAL, Appellant V.

PATRICIA HILL, VICE-PRESIDENT OF GLENCAIRN ASSOCIATION

BOARD OF DIRECTORS, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 3 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1129479 DISSENT TO ORDER

Appellant has filed a letter with the clerk of this court asking the clerk to inform the court that appellee’s brief, among other things, does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1. Appellant further “holds of the appellee’s brief as invalid, and the appellant will regard this the same as if the appellee never filed a brief in this case.”

This court routinely treats letters that do not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 10 as not being motions and has the clerk so notify the parties. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a). I would do so here, rather than construe the letter as a motion and deny it on the merits as so construed, especially as I am uncertain exactly what is the extent of the relief that appellant requests.

I respectfully dissent.
