Angelos Kolobotos, A/K/A Angelos Kolombotos, A/K/A Angelos Kolobotas, A/K/A Angelos Kolmbotos, A/K/A Angelos Kolobetos v. City of Dallas ( 2020 )

Order entered April 1, 2020
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-20-00239-CV
ANGELOS KOLOBOTOS, A/K/A ANGELOS KOLOMBOTOS, ET AL.,
Appellants
V.
CITY OF DALLAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-16384
ORDER
Before the Court is appellants’ February 24, 2020 motion to extend time to
file their notice of appeal. The motion recites the appeal is from the trial court’s
November 8, 2019 final judgment and is being filed within fifteen days of the
deadline. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3 (extending deadline to file notice of appeal
where notice is filed within fifteen days of deadline and motion complies with
appellate rule 10.5(b)). The motion, however, does not state the reason the
extension is necessary. See id. 10.5(b). Accordingly, by letter dated March 5,
2020, we directed appellants to file, no later than March 16, 2020, an amended
motion that explained why the notice of appeal was untimely. Our letter also
cautioned that failure to comply could result in dismissal of the appeal without
further notice. See id. 42.3(a),(c). To date, appellants have not complied, but they
have corresponded with the Court concerning the clerk’s record.
Because it appears appellants desire to pursue the appeal, we EXTEND
THE TIME for appellants to file the amended extension motion to April 13, 2020.
See id. 10.5(b). We again caution appellants that failure to comply could result in
dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See id. 42.3(a),(c).
