UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

DICK REID JENKINS,

No. 14-4161

(D.C. No. 2:13-CR-00425-CW-EJF-1)

(D. Utah)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before GORSUCH and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before the court because the pro se appellant has not filed an 

opening brief. After the appellant’s stand-by counsel was allowed to withdraw, the court 

set an initial deadline for the pro se opening brief of March 24, 2015. When no brief had 

been filed, the court issued a deficiency notice to the appellant and sua sponte extended 

the brief deadline to April 13, 2015. Still having received no brief, the court entered an 

order on April 17, 2015, giving the appellant one last opportunity to file an opening brief. 

The final deadline was May 8, 2015. We warned the appellant that failure to file an 

opening brief could result in dismissal of this direct criminal appeal. Despite this 

cautionary language, the appellant has not filed an opening brief.

Accordingly, the above-captioned appeal is dismissed for lack of prosecution 

pursuant to 10th Cir. R. 42.1.
