ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeals.

On January 12, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and is represented by court-appointed counsel Nanette Hendrickson; (3) Ms. Hendrickson’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is her workload; and (4) Ms. Hendrickson requested thirty days from the February 9, 2015 findings to file appellant’s brief.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by MARCH 13, 2015. We note that the appellant’s brief was originally due October 31, 2014, appellant has been granted one thirty-day extension of time to file the brief, and the brief is now more than two months overdue. Therefore, no further extensions will be granted.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to counsel for all parties.
