A review of this appeal shows that, by letter dated June 3, 2016, we notified appellant that the reporter’s record had not been filed because appellant had not paid or made arrangements to pay for the reporter’s record or provided written documentation he had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs. We cautioned appellant that if the Court did not receive the required documentation within the time specified, the Court would order the appeal submitted without the reporter’s record. When appellant did not respond or provide the requested documentation, we ordered this appeal to be submitted without the reporter’s record. We ordered his brief to be filed no later than August 28, 2016. Appellant did not do so. On August 30, 2016, we directed appellant to file his brief and an extension motion within ten days. To date, appellant has not filed his brief or communicated with the Court. On September 19, 2016, appellee filed her motion to dismiss and certified she forwarded a copy of her motion to appellant. More than ten days have passed since appellee filed her motion, and appellant has not responded. Accordingly, we grant appellee’s motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1), 42.3(b), (c). We dismiss the appeal. /Carolyn Wright/ CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE 160027F.P05 –2– S Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas JUDGMENT ANDRES MEJIA, Appellant No. 05-16-00027-CV On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-15-05152-C.
