On the 14th day of March, on the agreed motion of the parties, the submission was postponed to June 1st. On May 3lst, appellants filed their brief, with their motion praying that' the submission be postponed to the 22nd day of June. On June 1st, before the case was called for submission, appellee, Sears-Roebuck & Company, filed its contest of appellants’ motion to postpone, together with its motion to strike appellants’ brief and to affirm the judgment of the lower court. The motion to strike must be sustained; on this point we have no judicial discretion. West Louisiana State Bank v. Terry, Tex.Civ.App., 229 S.W. 639. The discretion vested in the Courts of Civil Appeals by amendment to Rule 36 for the Courts of Civil Appeal's, promulgated December’ 9, 1936, effective March 1, 1937, is grounded .on a showing of “good cause”, and appellants have made no showing of good cause. Fundamental error is not apparent on the face of the record. The judgment of the lower court should be affirmed, and it is accordingly so ordered. Affirmed.
