(providing 180 days for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule requires greater
compliance with briefing deadlines. Therefore we order counsel to file appellee=s brief no later
than February 11, 2013. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show
cause why he should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on January 25, 2013.
