ELEVATOR COMPANY INC v. MELANIE DENISE SIPHO WILLIAM LESLIE TAYLOR AND STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY (2017)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant's brief in this case is overdue. By order entered December 15, 2016, we granted Lloyd Ward's motion to withdraw as counsel for appellant, directed appellant to notify us of the name and contact information of new counsel, and suspended the deadline for filing appellant's brief pending appellant's retainer of new counsel. After counsel filed an appearance, by order dated January 23, 2017, we reinstated the briefing deadline and ordered appellant's brief to be filed by February 23, 2017. By postcard dated February 24, 2017, we notified appellant the time for filing its brief had expired. We directed appellant to file both a brief and an extension motion within ten days. We cautioned appellant that failure to file a brief and an extension motion would result in the dismissal of this appeal without further notice. To date, appellant has not filed a brief, an extension motion, or otherwise corresponded with the Court regarding the status of this appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1); 42.3(b), (c).
