first request for an extension of time to file their reply brief

. The requested extension is unopposed

. I. This appeal arises from the July 31, 2014 Final Judgment rendered by the trial court. The notice of appeal was filed by mail on August 26, 2014, and received by the trial court on September 2, 2014. The Clerk’s Record was filed on October 15, 2014

. Appellan ts’ brief w as f iled on December 14, 2014

. Appellee filed its brief on January 2 1 , 2015. Appellants ’ reply brief is currently due to be filed on or before February 10, 2015. However, that date could change depending upon whether Appellee files an amended brief. D ue to the sealed record that is part of the appellate record in this
ap peal, Appellee also requested that its att o rneys be permitted to review the sealed record and, if necessary , file an amended brief. O n January 2 3 , 2015, this Court granted the motion, permitting access to the sealed record and until February 23, 2015 to file an amended brief, if they choose to do so. Appell ant s respe ctfully request that the deadline for filing their reply brief be extended until 2 0 day s after either Appellee files an amended brief or Febr u a ry 23, 2015, whichever is earlier

.3 II. This extension is not sought for purposes of delay , but to limit the amount of unnecessary briefing that is filed with this Court. U n der the current deadlines, Appellants would be required to file a reply brief responding to the arguments raised in Appellee ’ s brief by February 10, 2015. However, due to the Court ’ s order, those arguments could change should Appellee file an amended brief, thus necessitating a second reply bri ef by Appellants. In order to ensure that Appellee has presented all of its arguments before Appellants reply, Appellants respe ctfully request that the deadline for filing their r eply brief be extended until 20 days after either an amended brief has been filed or the time for filing

one has passed, whichever is earlier. III. CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE The undersigned confer red with counsel for Appell ee , and Appellee d oes not oppose the requested extension
