        On December 7, 2016, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why

appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the December 9, 2016 findings that: (1)

appellant desires to pursue the appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-

appointed counsel Lawrence Mitchell; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing

appellant’s brief is due to medical reasons; and (4) counsel requests an additional thirty days to

file the brief.

        We ORDER appellant to file his brief within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
