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 19, 2022;
and the respondent on or before January 6, 2023.
Oral argument will be waived ifbriefis untimely filed. Briefs submitted on legal sized paper

timely filed if mailed on or before the due date. If the brief is received by mail on the first

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.
With kindest regards, I remain,
