If the brief is not filed by such date, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for a hearing to determine if new appellate counsel should be appointed and to consider whether sanctions should be imposed against Ms. Guerrero for failing to timely file appellant's brief.
It is so ORDERED on January 8, 2024.
