GENA MARCELLA MERCADANTE AND KENNETH JOHN MERCADANTE, Appellants v. ZLH LC, INC. F/K/A ZALE LIPSHY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, INC., Appellee
On Appeal from the 95th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-10-15882-D
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices FitzGerald, Lang, and Brown
Opinion by Justice Brown
Before the Court is appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellee contends the appeal should be dismissed for want of prosecution because appellants have failed to file a brief.
Appellant's brief was originally due on June 7, 2014. The Court granted numerous extensions totaling an additional 108 days to file their brief. When appellants failed to file their brief by October 21, 2014, the Court sent appellants a past-due notice instructing appellants to file their brief and an extension motion within ten days and cautioning them that failure to do so will result in dismissal of the appeal. Nevertheless, rather than filing a brief, appellants have again sought another extension of time. We deny appellants' extension motion.
We grant appellee's motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(a)(1) & 42.3(b), (c).
