                                             ORDER
       We REINSTATE this appeal which we abated January 12, 2017 to allow the trial court

an opportunity to hold a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief has not been filed. Although

the record of the hearing has not been transmitted to the Court as requested, appellant has

tendered his brief along with an extension motion. Accordingly, in the interest of expediency,

we VACATE our January 12th order. We GRANT appellant’s motion and ORDER the brief

tendered to the Clerk of the Court January 23, 2017 filed as of the date of this order.

                                                              CHIEF JUSTICE
