On April 27, 2000, we issued an order for AM. Schay to appear before this court at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, May 11, 2000, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for failure to file an appellant’s brief after a final extension had been granted.
Alvin Schay appeared on May 11, 2000. At that time, he entered a plea of not guilty and requested a hearing. Therefore, we appoint the Honorable Jack Lessenberry as a master to conduct the hearing. After the hearing, we direct the master to make findings of fact and file them with the court. Upon receiving the master’s *378findings, we will decide whether Alvin Schay should be held in contempt.
