ROBERT EDWARDS, JUDGE] v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE MOTION GRANTED. PER CURIAM On July 19, 2013, appellant Terry Farnsworth lodged an appeal in this court from a circuit court order that had dismissed his pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus for lack of jurisdiction. The appellee State now asks that the appeal be dismissed for appellants failure to submit a brief. Appellant was informed that his brief-in-chief was due here no later than August 28, 2013. As of the date of this opinion, he has not tendered a brief or filed a motion to file a belated brief. He has taken no action to pursue the appeal. Failure of an appellant who is acting pro se to file a brief in an appeal is cause for dismissal of an appeal. Butler v. Hobbs, 2012 Ark. 162 (per curiam); Barker v.
