NOTE: FOR BRIEFING PURPOSES WRIT GRANTED December 21, 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 January 18, 2022; and the respondent on or
before February 4, 2022.
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.
