        "text": "Per Curiam.\nAppellant\u2019s brief was due to be filed in this Court on November 14, 1989. On November 21, 1989, we granted appellant a 30-day extension to file his brief. As of this date, June 20, 1990, appellant has not filed a brief with this Court.\nOn January 11, 1990, the Clerk of this Court wrote a letter to appellant\u2019s counsel of record, Mr. Larry Horton, Route One, Bismarck, Arkansas, 71929, inquiring as to the status of this case and requesting a response within seven days. No response by Mr. Horton was received. On April 20, 1990, the Clerk of this Court again wrote Mr. Horton to inquire of the status of the case and to advise him of possible sanctions if he did not respond within seven days. This Court has not received a response to this inquiry.\nAccording to our records, appellant\u2019s counsel, Larry Horton, was apparently retained by appellant rather than appointed by the Court. Mr. Horton has neither responded to any of this Court\u2019s written inquiries, nor has he filed a brief on behalf of the appellant. No further motions for extensions of time for the filing of a belated brief have been filed.\nAlthough Ark. Sup. Ct. Rule 10 provides for dismissal of civil cases where no brief is filed, there is no corresponding rule in criminal cases. Therefore, we allow appellant until July 5, 1990, to file a brief. Appellant may retain new counsel if he wishes, or, if appellant now believes himself to be indigent and therefore unable to afford retained counsel, he may apply for appointment of counsel by filing the appropriate documents with the Clerk of this Court. If no brief is filed within the period allowed by this per curiam, either by present counsel, new counsel, or by the appellant pro se, this appeal will be dismissed.\nThe Clerk of this Court is directed to serve a copy of this per curiam on appellant; appellee; the sureties on the appellant\u2019s bond, Sidney and Min\u00f3la Kennedy, 410 S. New Orleans Street, Brinkley, Arkansas, 72021; and the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct.\nMotion denied.",
