ORDER
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Appellant's brief was originally due February 10, 2023; however, the court granted an extension of time to file the brief until April 11, 2023. On April 5, 2023, appellant filed a motion requesting until May 11, 2023 to file the brief.
We grant the motion and order Alberto M. Ramon to file the appellant's brief in this case by May 11, 2023. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the court may abate this appeal and remand the case to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant or her counsel has abandoned the appeal. Counsel Alberto M. Ramon 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.
