Respondent's ChiefExeom.ive Offi~r (CEO) respo_nded proposing sixty (60) days for the initial 

brief; sixty (60) days for the reply, and thirty (30) for the rebuttal. Exhibit 2. 

Complainant's Brief is being served contemporaneously with this Motion-seventeen (17). days 

e.fter receipt of the T!2llSCript. 

Argument 

The Rules ofPractiee prOVide that the parties shall have 1'adequate oppo~.ty" to pre.::em 

argument. Rule 13.61. Further, Rule 13.231(c) provides that parties shouldbavenotmore than. 

thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transcri:pt to· prepare and submit briefs. Respondent's request. 

for sixty (60) days is unreasonable when considered in light of Rllle 13.231 and the deadlines 

established in the rules ·of practice for other matters. The Rules also provide: 

• 30 days for arespondeo.t to respond to a Notice ofhoposed Civil Penalty (Rule 13.16(£)), 

• 15 days to appeal a Final Notice ofProposed Civil Penalty (Rule 13.16(g(2)), 

• 20 days fur the compl~t to file th~ complaint if the Fin~ Notice i6 appealed (Rule 

13.208(a))~ 

• 30 da:ys for a respondent to answer the complaU:I.t (Rule 13 .. 209(a)), 

• 10 days for respondent to file an answer if a motion to dismiss is not granted (Rule 

13.21 S(t)(2)(fi)). 

• 1 :5 days to file a more defmite co.mplaint or answer if a Motion for a More Definite 

Statement is granted (Rules 13.218(f)(3)(i) and (ii)), 

• 10 days to 8D$Wer amotion (Rule 13.218(e)), 

• 30 days to respond to a discovery request (RUles 13.220(d)) and (1)) 

Respondent's CEO asserts that she will be «traveling" and "extremely busy at school.'~ Exhibit 2. 

However~ Respondent asserted at tdal that the proposed sanction woUld "hurt the flight school"· 

and that the school's 1

'profit margin ... is ... ve:ty s:mil.l.j' Transcript 48~12-17. The CEO further 

states that '"whenever an issue has come to [her] attention, [she] put[s] forth a lot of effort ... , 

Tran.Scri.pt 48:18-20. Ifthose statements are true, then these eases are sufficiently important to 

Respondent that they should be a priority in scheduling and :receive ''a lot of effort." 

Respondent also asks for extra time on the grounds that undersigned counsel has asked for "extra 

time because [his] wife is ba-ring a baby." Exhibit 2. Ra1:l1cr than seeking "'extra tinte," 

1.1Ildersigned counsel seeks to complete brlefing before the due date. Complainant's proposed
