 ZHAOQING NEW ZHONGYA ALUMINUM V. US                         2

    Appeal from the United States Court of International
 Trade in consolidated Nos. 11-CV-0178 and 11-CV-0196,
 Chief Judge Donald C. Pogue.
               __________________________

                       ON MOTION
                 __________________________

  Before NEWMAN, REYNA, and WALLACH, Circuit Judges.
 NEWMAN, Circuit Judge.
                          ORDER

     Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd. and
 Zhongya Shaped Aluminum (HK) Holding Limited (Ap-
 pellants) move for an extension of time to file a brief.
 Aluminum Extrusions Fair Trade Committee opposes and
 moves to dismiss this appeal.
      Appellants’ brief was due April 5, 2013. On April 22,
 2013, Appellants filed a motion for an extension of time
 until April 23, 2013 to file their brief. Appellants failed to
 file a brief on April 23, 2013.
     In its motion for an extension of time, Appellants’
 counsel stated that he “was planning to file its principal
 brief by the Friday April 5, 2013 deadline” but that a
 “computer crash and loss of the pertinent files” prevented
 him. Counsel then stated that he “could have filed on
 Monday April 8, 2013” but “further reflection especially
 over the weekend of April 5-7, 2013 . . . led to the conclu-
 sion that filing the principal brief was still premature . . .
 .”
     Failure to comply with this court’s rules, including
 failure to file a brief, may result in dismissal of an appeal
 for failure to prosecute. Julien v. Zeringue, 864 F.2d
 1572, 1574 (Fed. Cir. 1989).

       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       (1) The motion for an extension of time is denied.
       (2) The motion to dismiss is granted.
       (3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
