Honorable Maria Teresa (Tessa) Herr, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice

Irene Rios, Justice

Beth Watkins, Justice

Appellant’s retained counsel, Adam Poncio, entered an appearance in this appeal on August 25, 2020. The appellant’s brief was originally due October 8, 2020. The court has granted six motions for extension of time to file the brief. Our last order, dated January 7, 2021, ordered the appellant’s brief filed by January 27, 2021. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time to file the brief was filed. However, on February 11, at 5:00 p.m., appellant filed a seventh motion, requesting an extension of time until have been filed.

We order Adam Poncio to file the appellant’s brief in this appeal by February 26, 2021. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the court may abate this appeal for the trial court to hold a hearing to determine whether appellant or counsel has abandoned the appeal. Counsel may also be ordered to appear before this court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt or otherwise sanctioned for failing to comply with the court’s order.
