                                                   v.

               State of Texas, Orla Sharp and Valencia Ann Pollard, Appellees


     FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 200TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
      NO. D-1-GN-05-002014, HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING



                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Appellants Roosevelt Hutchins, Jr., and Phillip A. Dick appeal from the district

court’s dismissal of their claims against appellees the State of Texas, Orla Sharp, and Valencia Ann

Pollard. On February 1, 2007, appellants filed a motion for extension of time to file their brief. We

granted the motion on February 2, extending the deadline for filing a brief until March 8, 2007. On

April 3, 2007, this Court notified appellants that their brief was overdue and that if they failed to file

a brief or reasonably explain the failure to file a brief by April 13, we would dismiss the appeal. See

Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1). The deadline has passed and we have not received either a brief or a

response from appellants. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See

Tex. R. App. P. 42.3
