By order dated June 23, 2017, we abated this case for a hearing to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed. On July 28, 2017, appellant filed his brief, followed by a motion to extend time for filing the same. In the interest of expediting the appeal and because we have not received the trial court’s findings, we VACATE the June 23, 2017 order requiring findings.

We GRANT appellant’s July 28, 2017 motion and ORDER appellant’s brief filed as of the date of this order.
