MILLENNIUM ENERGY GROUP, LLC AND CRAIG N. KITCHEN,
Appellant
V.
JOHN J. NORKUS, JR., ENSIGN INVESTMENTS, LLC, JON WASHAM,
MIKE R. GILBERT AND RUTH LEWIS WASHAM, Appellees
On Appeal from the 190th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 1201796
MEMORANDUM ORDER OF DISMISSAL
E.R. (Ned) Turnbull, counsel for appellants, Millennium Energy Group,
LLC (“Millennium”) and Craig N. Kitchen, has filed a motion to withdraw as
appellate counsel. On June 27, 2013, this Court granted Turnbull’s motion to
withdraw. Because a corporation may be represented only by a licensed attorney
in the prosecution of its appeal, Millennium is required to retain licensed counsel if
it desires to prosecute its appeal. See Moore v. Elektro-Mobile Technik GmbH,
874 S.W.2d 324, 327 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1994, writ denied). We ordered that
any new counsel representing Millennium in this appeal file a notice of
representation with the Clerk of this Court by July 19, 2013, and, we notified
Millennium that if no such notice was filed, its appeal would be dismissed. No
such notice has been filed.
We DISMISS Millennium’s appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). Kitchen’s
appeal remains on the Court’s docket.
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Brown, and Huddle.
