FROM THE 251 ST DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY;

NO. 47,972-C; HON. PATRICK PIRTLE, PRESIDING

_______________________________

Before BOYD, C.J., QUINN and JOHNSON, JJ.

Appellant timely noticed its appeal and both records were timely filed.  After granting an extension of time to file appellant’s brief, the brief was due on May 2, 2001.

On May 2, 2001, this Court was notified that the parties had agreed to settle the underlying case and dismiss this appeal.  Because we had not received a motion to dismiss the appeal or appellant’s brief, we ordered the parties, on May 23, 2001, to file a motion to dismiss the appeal or appellant’s brief no later than June 22, 2001. Furthermore, we advised the parties that failure to file either would result in the dismissal of the appeal for “want of prosecution.”  June 22 nd passed without a motion to dismiss or appellant’s brief being filed.  Thus, pursuant to rule 42.3 (b) and (c) of the Texas Rules of Appellant Procedure, this cause is dismissed for want of prosecution and for failure to comply with a court order.  

It is so ordered.
