                                           ORDER
        The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

        On December 20, 2012, 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 represented by retained counsel Melvyn Bruder; (3) Mr.

Bruder’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is the holiday season and his

workload; and (4) Mr. Bruder will file appellant’s brief on or before January 28, 2013.

        We received appellant’s brief on January 28, 2013 and ORDER it filed as of the date of

this order.
