ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANT
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant, Paul Stamatis, Jr. files this Motion for Leave to File its Post-

Submission Rebuttal to Appellee’s Post-Submission Brief.

      Appellant seeks leave to file its Post-Submission Rebuttal submitted

concurrently herewith to respond to the Post-Submission Brief filed by the Appellees

on May 7, 2015. The Appellees sought leave from this Court to file their Post-

Submission Brief because at oral argument on April 30, 2015, they did not have

adequate enough time to respond to questions posed by the Justices of the Panel. Had

the Appellees responded to the Justices of the Panel at oral argument, Appellant

would have rebutted the Appellees on the manner set forth in this Rebuttal. Based

on Appellant’s Post-Submission Rebuttal to the Appellees’ Post-Submission Brief,

Appellant believes that its Rebuttal will assist the Court in its deliberations

                              PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      For the reasons set forth above, Appellant requests that this Court grant his

Motion for Leave to File Post-Submission Rebuttal, direct the clerk to accept and file

Appellant’s Post-Submission Rebuttal, and grant him all other relief to which he may

be entitled.
