TRINICIA PRESSLEY v. KAMINI SHALLU MITTAL et al.
The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order:
Kamini Shallu Mittal and Sunil Mittal have filed a motion to dismiss this appeal based on Trinicia Pressley's failure to timely file an appellate brief. The record shows that the appeal was docketed on April 12, 2021, and Pressley's appellate brief therefore was due to be filed on Monday, May 3, 2021. See Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a) ("Appellant's brief shall be filed within 20 days after the appeal is docketed."). On May 11, 2021, well after the deadline for filing an appellate brief had passed, this Court permitted Pressley's attorney to withdraw as counsel of record for Pressley, noting that Pressley consented to the withdrawal. As of the date of this order, Pressley has failed to file an appellate brief or any other filing in this Court. It is well-established that an appellant's failure to file a brief may result in dismissal of the appeal. Court of Appeals Rule 23 (a). Accordingly, the Mittals' motion to dismiss is hereby GRANTED, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
