appeal and submitted a brief on appellant’s behalf. Accordingly, we grant the motion, withdraw
our November 21, 2019 abatement order, and REINSTATE this case on the Court’s active docket.

       The State’s brief, if any, is due no later than 30 days from the date of this order. See

       It is so ORDERED.
