This Court ordered that, on or. before -March 1, 2016, Appellant "may file with this Court a pro se brief specifying the issues he would like this Court to consider in this appeal." This Court also provided notice that, after the time for filing a pro se brief expired, this Court would "make its ruling on counsel's motion to withdraw and, if appropriate, make a final decision on this appeal." This Court notes that Appellant has not filed a pro se brief or other pleading in the time allotted.
