appellant’s brief will be filed.
The judge shall:
(1) appoint new appellate counsel for appellant if necessary;

If the parties do not request a hearing, the court coordinator of the trial court
shall set a hearing date and notify the parties of such date. If counsel files a brief
before the date set for a hearing, the trial court need not hold a hearing.
