MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL IN CAPTIONED CASE:
Please be advised that the above -captioned matter will be set for oral argument on this Court's next
available docket. A copy of the official docket with the specific date and time of oral argument will be
mailed out.
Please note Section 8 of Rule VII of the Rules of this Court provides that the applicant or relator,
as the case may be, must file their briefs on or before December 13, 2021; and the respondent on
or before January 3, 2022.

where the presumption does not apply, the timeliness of the mailing shall be shown only by an official
United States postmark or by official receipt or certificate from the United States Postal Service, or
bona fide commercial mail services such as Federal Express or United Parcel Service, made at the time
of mailing which indicates the date thereof. Any other date stamp, such as a private commercial mail
meter stamp, or label from an Automated Postal Center, shall not be used to establish timeliness.
Briefs forwarded by private delivery or courier service shall be deemed timely filed only if received by
the clerk on or before the last day of the delay for filing.
