Opinion issued July 14, 2011. In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas NO. 01-10-00073-CV CARLA I. VELASCO AND BEATRICE TRUITT, Appellants V. FIFE B. ELLIS, Appellee On Appeal from the 308th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2007-00020 MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 26, 2011, this Court issued an order finding the appellant, Carla Velasco, to be in violation of the trial court s final divorce decree appointing the appellee, Fife Ellis, as sole managing conservator of the parties minor child, E.E., because Velasco had failed to deliver custody of E.E. to Ellis.1 This Court s order directed that unless Velasco complied with the trial court s divorce decree by delivering E.E. to Ellis in the presence of a sheriff or deputy sheriff of Harris County or an officer of the 308th District Court of Harris County on or before June 6, 2011, the pending appeal from the trial court s divorce decree would be dismissed. Our order required such officer, in the event of Velasco s compliance, to give immediate notice to this Court certifying such compliance. We have not received notice of Velasco s compliance. It thus appears to the Court that Velasco has not complied with our order in the manner and time specified and that Velasco continues to violate the trial court s order which is the subject of this appeal. It is accordingly ORDERED that Ellis s motion to dismiss is granted and that the appeal is dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Sharp, and Massengale. 1 See Velasco v. Ellis, No. 01-10-00073-CV, 2011 WL 2118865 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.] May 26, 2011, order). 2
