JACQUES JAIKARAN A/K/A JACQUES SANCHARA JAIKARAN, Appellant

V.

U.S. BANK, N.A., AS TRUSTEE, Appellee

On Appeal from the 113th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 05-14890

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed October 4, 2005.  Appellant=s brief was originally due March 30, 2006, pursuant to a notice that no reporter=s record would be filed.  Appellant, while acting pro se, submitted a non-conforming brief on June 9, 2006, which the court struck and ordered re-drawn.  Appellant has now retained counsel. Appellant=s brief was due August 5, 2006, pursuant to counsel=s request for an extension of time. On August 10, 2006, one volume of reporter=s record was filed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 35.3(c) (requiring appellate court to permit late filing of reporter=s record if delay is not appellant=s fault and permitting late filing even when appellant is at fault).  Accordingly, the due date for appellant=s brief was calendared for September 11, 2006.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). Because appellant=s brief was originally due six months ago, the court ordered that no further extensions of time would be granted and that failure to file the brief as ordered would result in dismissal of the appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  To date no brief or other response from appellant has been filed.

Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
