Dear Judge Chitty:
Appellant’s brief was due November 15, 2017. On February 8, 2018, we abated this
appeal for a hearing on why appellant’s brief has not been filed. A copy of that order is enclosed
for your convenience. To date, we have not received the record of the hearing, any findings of
fact, or orders. Please inform the Court, within TEN DAYS of the date of this letter, of the
status of the hearing. We appreciate your attention to this matter
Respectfully,
/s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court
