order, no brief or additional motion for extension of time to file the brief has been filed with this

assistance of counsel, and to make appropriate findings and recommendations. The trial judge
shall take such measures as may be necessary to assure effective assistance of counsel, which
may include appointment of new counsel. The record of such hearing, including any orders and
findings of the trial judge, shall be certified and forwarded to this office on or before May 9,
2018.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of April, 2018.
