ORDER 
 
Whereas, a petition for writ of certiorari having been filed by Petitioner and granted 
by this Court with a writ of certiorari being issued on October 2, 2018;  
Whereas, Petitioner having filed a timely opening brief in this appeal and 
Respondent having failed to file a responsive brief or sought an extension of time to do so;   
Whereas, Counsel for Respondent having moved to withdraw his appearance in this 
matter on December 13, 2018 on the basis of Respondent’s belief that the appeal was moot;  
Whereas, Petitioner having moved to preclude Respondent from filing a brief on the 
basis that Respondent failed to timely file a brief in this appeal;  
Whereas, this Court issued an Order on January 4, 2019 in which it denied 
Respondent’s motion of Counsel to withdraw his appearance, granted Petitioner’s motion 
to bar Respondent from filing a brief, and limited oral argument to the issue of the current 
procedural posture and the appropriate disposition of the case;  
Whereas, the Court held oral argument on Monday, January 7, 2019, and heard 
arguments from both parties,  
Now, therefore, it is this 8th day of January, 2019, 
 
ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, that this case be, and it is hereby, 
remanded to the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County with instructions to dismiss the 
appeal to that court as moot, and it is further 
ORDERED, that the Respondent shall pay the costs in this Court and the Circuit 
Court.  Mandate to issue forthwith.
