After perfecting his appeal, however, Abbott failed to file a brief.

On March 28, 2023, we notified the parties that Abbott had not filed a brief and that his appeal would be submitted without briefs unless, by April 10, 2023, we received a brief in his appeal together with a motion to extend the time he was

allowed to file his brief. We also warned Abbott that his appeal could be dismissed for want of prosecution if the appeal was submitted without briefs.
