Gabriella Roberts v. Misti Montalvo, Individually and as Substitute Trustee and as Fiduciary

NO. 12-17-00205-CV IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS GABRIELLA ROBERTS, § APPEAL FROM THE 159TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT MISTI MONTALVO, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE AND AS FIDUCIARY, APPELLEE § ANGELINA COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM Gabriella Roberts sued Misti Montalvo, individually and as substitute trustee and fiduciary, for wrongful foreclosure and breach of fiduciary duty. CitiMortgage, Inc. intervened. CitiMortgage subsequently filed traditional and no-evidence motions for summary judgment, joined by Montalvo, and the trial court granted the motions. Roberts filed a notice of appeal. On August 8, 2017, this Court notified Roberts that her notice of appeal failed to contain the information specifically required by Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 9.5 and 25.1. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5 (service of documents), 25.1(e) (service of notice of appeal in civil cases). The notice warned that, unless Roberts filed a proper notice of appeal on or before September 7, the appeal would be referred to the Court for dismissal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. The deadline has passed and Roberts has not filed a compliant notice of appeal or otherwise responded to this Court’s August 8 notice. Because Roberts has failed, after notice, to comply with Rules 9.5 and 25.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Opinion delivered September 20, 2017. Panel consisted of Worthen, C.J., Hoyle, J., and Neeley, J.
