104 So. 2d 95 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1958
This cause is now before the court on appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal' herein for appellant’s failure to file his-brief within the time required.
The Notice of Appeal was filed on February 28, 1958. Under 31 F.S.A. Rule 3.6, subd. j (1), Florida Appellate Rules, the record-on-appeal was due in this court 110 days after the notice of appeal was filed, or by June 18, 1958.
Rule 3.7, subd. a requires that appellant’s main brief be filed and served at least 40 days before the date on which the record-on-appeal is required to be filed in the appellate court. It therefore becomes necessary, absent an extension of time as provided by Rule 3.7, subd. d, F.A.R., that appellant’s brief and appendix be filed and served not later than May 9, 1958. This was not done and appellee filed her motion to dismiss the appeal on May 28, 1958.
After appellee filed her motion to dismiss and prior to the hearing thereon, appellant moved the court for an order, nunc pro tunc, extending the time for filing his
Upon consideration of the foregoing it becomes apparent that appellant has failed to comply with the rules of this court governing the time for filing and serving briefs; that no request for an extension of such time was filed prior to the expiration of the time allowed by the rules; and that no good cause has been shown for the entry of an order of extension at this stage in the proceedings.
Accordingly, appellant’s motion to dismiss is hereby granted and the appeal dismissed.
