TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00797-CV
Darrell J. Harper, Appellant
v.
Texas Commission on Jail Standards and Anthony Mikesh, Appellees
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 98TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-GN-14-001263, HONORABLE GISELA D. TRIANA, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Darrell J. Harper, an inmate proceeding pro se, has filed a notice of appeal
from the district court’s order dismissing his suit against appellees Texas Commission on Jail
Standards and Anthony Mikesh. On May 11, 2016, this Court notified Harper that his appellant’s
brief was overdue and that if we did not receive a satisfactory response reasonably explaining
Harper’s failure to file a brief on or before May 23, 2016, his appeal may be dismissed for want of
prosecution. On May 20, 2016, we received what Harper styled a “satisfactory response” to this
Court’s notice. However, the response contained no explanation of why Harper had failed to file a
brief. Moreover, as of this date, no brief has been filed. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
want of prosecution.1
