Hastings moves that the court authorize a one-day extension to permit him to finalize the appended draft and file his brief in proper form. He has submitted the appended draft in order to minimize the inconvenience to opposing counsel. He seeks the one-day extension to assure that the final brief is in proper form so that it may aid this court effectively when it hears argument and undertakes to resolve the case. Counsel has been unable to complete the Table of Citations, the Summary of Argument, and the Conclusions required by this courts rules or to complete the footnotes and final editing and cite-checking necessary to submit the brief in proper form by January 7, the due date under the expedited briefing schedule this court established on December 1987. The complexity of the issues and the absence of normal word-processing facilities over the holiday season made it impossible for him to meet the deadline established by the court and constitute the cause for the one-day extension requested here. The appended draft presents the issues and identifies and develops the arguments in substantially final form. For that reason, the one-day extension should not unduly inconvenience or burden the Committee's special counsel staff. or his Accordingly, Judge Hastings submits that this motion should be granted. |
