05/09/2012MotionFiled Opposition To Motion For Leave To File Response Late.12-14703

06/21/2012Order/ProceduralFiled Order Regarding Motions. Respondent/cross-appellant has filed two motions to dismiss appellants/cross-respondents' appeal in this case.  Having considered the motions, we deny them. As appellants/cross-respondents' opening brief has already been filed, we disapprove as moot the parties' February 15, 2012, stipulation to extend the briefing schedule. Respondent/cross-appellant has filed a motion to suspend the briefing schedule pending the outcome of the motions to dismiss, which we deny as moot. We grant in part, however, respondent/cross-appellant's request, included in that motion, for additional time to file a combined answering/opening brief in the event that the motions to dismiss are denied.  Accordingly, respondent/cross-appellant shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file and serve her combined answering/opening brief. Fn1[We grant respondent/cross-appellant's motions for leave to exceed the page limits on certain filings.  Accordingly, we direct the clerk of this court to file the reply provisionally received on March 14, 2012, and the motion to dismiss provisionally received on April 9, 2012.  We also grant appellants/cross-respondents' motion for leave to file an opposition in excess of ten pages, and thus, we direct the clerk of this court to file the opposition provisionally received on April 20, 2012.] Fn2[We grant respondent/cross-appellant's motion to file a late response to appellants/cross-respondents' motion to submit their appeal for decision and to dismiss the cross-appeal.  We direct the clerk of this court to file the response, provisionally received on May 2, 2012.  We deny appellants/cross-respondents' April 16, 2012, motion to submit their appeal for decision and to dismiss the cross-appeal based on respondent/cross-appellant's failure to file an answering/opening brief.]12-19497
