ORDER
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Appellant has filed a motion for a sixty day extension of time to to file a brief. We grant the motion and order appellant's counsel, John Fahle, to file appellant's brief by February 15, 2022. Counsel is advised that no further extensions of time will be granted absent a motion, filed before the brief is due, that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying further delay, (2) advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended deadline. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance.
