No. 11

- 8026

Pierre P. Joseph

v.

Hess Oil Virgin Islands Corp., Petitioner

( V .I

. S. Ct. Civil No. 2009

- 00054 )

Present: McKEE, Chief Judge , FUENTES and SMITH

, Circuit Judg e s

1. Motion by Petitioner to Revise or Withdraw Precedential, One

- Judge

Opinion on Motion for Extension of Time;

2. Declaration of Roy T. Englert, Jr., Esq. in Support of Motion to Revise or

Withdraw Precedential, One

- Judge Opinion on Motion for Extension of

Time;

3. Amicus Brief by the Bar Association of the Third Federal Circuit in

Clerk/nmr

____________________ __ ___________ORDER________________________________

The foregoing Moti on to Withdraw the Opinion is DENIED. The Motion to Amend the

Opinion is GRANTED . The precedential opinion in Joseph v. Hess Oil Virgin Islands

Corp. , No. 11

- 8026, which is reprinted in 651 F.3d 348 (3d Cir. 2011), is AMENDED as

follows:

1. T he first s entence in section II.B. of the opinion, which appears on page 20

of the slip opinion and at 651 F.3d at 356 in the right hand column

, is amended as set

forth below add ing the underlined text

.

In light of the foregoing, I conclude that a petitioner seekin g an extension under LAR 112.4(a) usually must demonstrate a

need for more time based on an event or cause beyond the

control of counsel or the petitioner.

### 2. At the end of th e first paragraph in section II.B. of the opinion after the

phrase “and not the rule.” and before the next paragraph which states “HOVIC has not

demonstrated. . .” , the following footnote shall be added :

This discussion of good cause governs only motions to extend

the time for filing a petition for certiorari under Third Circuit

LA R 112.4(a). It does not address the standard applicable to

a motion for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal.

By the Court,

Circuit Judge /s/ D. Brooks Smith

Dated : October 10, 2012

NMR/cc: Donna M. Doblick, Esq.

Peter G o ldberger, Esq.

James C. Martin, Esq.
