__________________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Defendant TARGET CORPORATION files this Motion to Dismiss the

2. On September 15th, 2015, this Honorable Court issued a Notice requiring
that Appellant file her filing fee on or before October 5, 2015. Further, this Court
required that the District Court Reporter file the record on or before October 9, 2015.
3. On October 6, 2015, this Honorable Court issued a reminder to the
Appellant, noting that the filing fee had not been paid and that if the fee was not paid on
or before November 5, 2015, the appeal may be dismissed.
4. Contrary to the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and this Court’s prior
Notices, neither the filing fee nor the underlying record have been filed with this
Honorable Court. In this regard, the Appellant has not paid the filing fee and has not paid
for the underlying record. Thus, Appellee Target Corporation respectfully requests that
this Honorable Court dismiss Appellant Loan Nguyen’s Appeal for want of prosecution.
PRAYER
For the foregoing reasons, Appellee TARGET CORPORATION respectfully
moves the Court to dismiss Appellant Loan Nguyen’s Notice of
Appeal and Appellant Defendant TARGET CORPORATION seeks all costs of court.
