Appellant’s brief was originally due May 22, 2014; however, the court has granted appellant extensions of time to file the brief until August 7, 2014. Appellant has filed a motion requesting an additional thirty days to file the brief.

We grant the motion. We order appellant’s attorney, Guillermo Lara Jr., to file the appellant’s brief by September 8, 2014. No further extensions of time will be granted. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the court will abate this appeal and remand it to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. Counsel may also be ordered to appear before this court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for failing to comply with the court’s order.

We further order the clerk of this court to serve this order on counsel by first class United States mail and by certified mail, return receipt requested, with delivery restricted to addressee only.
