                        Honorable Enrique Fernandez, Judge Presiding


                                         ORDER
       This is an accelerated appeal from an order terminating parental rights. Appellant’s brief,

which was originally due on September 28, 2015. On November 10, 2015, this Court ordered

James Gerard McDermott, II to personally appear before this court on December 1, 2015 to show

cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for failure to comply with the order of

October 23, 2015, which required him to file the appellant’s brief.

       On November 17, 2015, Mr. McDermott responded with a motion for extension of time

until November 20, 2015 to file the brief. Mr. McDermott explained his delay and difficulty in

responding to this Court’s orders. Given Mr. McDermott’s response, this Court granted Mr.

McDermott’s motion for extension of time to November 20, 2015. Mr. McDermott filed the

appellant’s brief on November 20, 2015.        Therefore, the contempt hearing scheduled for

December 1, 2015 is cancelled.
