September 8, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ORDER (Clerk) On August 12, 2025, the appellant filed a 306-page opening brief and a motion to exceed the length limitations. After the federal appellees opposed her motion for overlength briefing, the appellant filed a new 9-page brief on August 26, 2026. (She filed a duplicate copy of the 9-page brief on August 29, 2025.) The Clerk asked the appellant to clarify whether her 9-page brief was intended to supplement or replace her earlier overlength brief. In response, the appellant filed two motions (ECF #26 and #27) explaining that the overlength brief was "filed by mistake and doesn't address the judgment [on appeal]." Those motions suggest the appellant wants the Court to accept her 9-page brief as the opening brief for this appeal. The appellant's motions at ECF #26 and #27 are GRANTED as follows. The appellant's 9-page brief at ECF #20, received on August 26, 2025, is hereby deemed the appellant's operative opening brief for this appeal. The appellant's other briefs (ECF #18 and #25) are therefore stricken. The appellant's other pending motions are now unnecessary, and no further action will be taken on them. The appellees' brief(s) must be filed and served within twenty-one days of this order. (EMA) [Entered: 09/08/2025 03:31 PM]
