Text: In the matter of Zheng v. Mukasey, No. 08-1800-ag, Kuzmin had timely filed the brief, but it was not accepted by the clerk's office because the cover of the brief did not indicate that the case was a consolidated matter. The clerk's office requested an amended cover, which Kuzmin submitted two weeks later. In the case of Zheng v. Mukasey, No. 08-3457-ag, Kuzmin's office had erroneously recorded the brief due date as November 17,2008, instead ofNovember 7,2008. Kuzmin submitted the brief on November 17th, and upon learning that his filing was late, immediately submitted an after-the-fact motion for leave to file a late brief, which was granted.
