ORDER
Appellant's appointed counsel, Mr. Nohl Bryant, filed appellant's brief on August 21, 2017. The State's brief was due on October 20, 2017. According to the State, while in the process of researching its brief, the State discovered material not previously disclosed to Mr. Bryant.

We GRANT in part and DENY in part Mr. Bryant's motion. Mr. Bryant is hereby ORDERED to file appellant's amended brief no later than December 8, 2017. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED ABSENT EXTENTUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
