NOTE: FOR BRIEFING PURPOSES WRIT GRANTED October 19, 2021
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 November 15, 2021;
and the respondent on or before December 3, 2021.
O
ral argument will be waived if brief is untimely filed. Briefs submitted on legal sized paper
should be fastened at the top. All briefs should be backed with the customary "Blueback" or
other flexible material. In criminal proceedings, the court directs that counsel must file a
brief. Failure to do so may subject counsel to a penalty of contempt of Court.
It is further provided in Rule VII, Section 9 that briefs sent through the mail shall be deemed
timely filed if mailed on or before the due date. If the brief is received by mail on the first
legal day following the expiration of the delay, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that it
was timely filed. In all cases 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.
