FROM THE 261ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-16-005029, THE HONORABLE ORLINDA NARANJO, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of T. Y. J. The subject of this
proceeding is John M. Sigman, appellant’s attorney.
Appellant filed her notice of appeal on May 17, 2018, and her brief was due July
16, 2018. On July 23, 2018 we ordered counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than August 3,
2018. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that John M. Sigman shall appear in person before
this Court on Wednesday, August 15, 2018, at 2:00 p.m., in the Third Court of Appeals
courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in
Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and have
sanctions imposed for his failure to obey our July 23, 2018 order. This order to show cause will
be withdrawn and Sigman will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as ordered
above if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief on or before August 13, 2018.
It is ordered on August 7, 2018.
Before Justices Puryear, Goodwin, and Bourland
