IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Appellant shall file his brief on appeal on or before thirty (30) days from the entry of this Order. The Appellee shall file its brief on or before thirty days (30) from the filing of the Appellant's brief.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendant's Motion for Stay [Doc. 3] is GRANTED, and the execution of the sentence of imprisonment is hereby stayed during the pendency of the appeal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
