         The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

         On November 25, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why

appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to

pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Daniel

Oliphant; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and

(4) counsel requested forty-five days from the December 1, 2015 findings to file appellant’s

brief.

         We ORDER appellant to file his brief by JANUARY 19, 2016.
