                                       ORDER
       On May 26, 2022, appellant’s appointed trial counsel, Shane Stolarczyk, filed a Motion
to Abate Appeal and Request for the Appointment of Substitute Appellate Counsel. See TEX. R.

appointing John Michael Lamerson as appellant’s new appellate counsel.

       Appellant’s brief was due on June 8, 2022. On June 6, 2022, appellant’s new appellate
counsel filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief until July 11, 2022. We

Appellant’s previous counsel’s motion to abate is DENIED as moot, following current counsel’s
appointment.
