O R D E R

            Appellant, Marvin Dean Goodson, by and through his counsel of record, has made a request of this Court for a third extension of time in which to file the appellant's brief in this case.

            The appellant's brief was due December 7, 2005. The appellant has been granted two prior extensions of time in which to file his brief. In granting the appellant's second extension, we advised that further requests for extensions would not be looked on with favor.

            The appellant's request for a third extension is overruled.

            Alex Tyra, counsel for appellant, Marvin Dean Goodson, is hereby ordered to prepare and file a brief on behalf of his client in this Court on or before December 27, 2005. Failure to do so may result in counsel being cited for contempt of this Court.

            IT IS SO ORDERED.
