Due Date of Brief. Appellants’ Brief was originally due for filing November 12, 2015 per the Court’s last notice. Appellants seek hereby to have the due date of their brief extended to Thursday, December 10, 2015. 2. Extension of Time Sought. Appellants have sought no previous extension of time for filing of their brief, and ask that the Court grant them an extension for filing of their brief until Thursday, December 10, 2015, in order that their brief may be optimally prepared. Since October 15, 2015, Appellants’ counsel has missed considerable work
