                                         ORDER
       Before the Court is Ernest Gaines’s November 21, 2016 Motion for Extension of Time to

File Appellant’s Brief. Gaines tendered his appellate brief contemporaneously with the motion.

On November 17, 2016, on our own motion, we ordered Gaines, through counsel, to file his brief

by November 28, 2016. Accordingly, we DENY Gaines’s November 21, 2016 motion as moot.

We DIRECT the Clerk to file the brief tendered by Gaines on November 21, 2016.
