Date Filed Document Text
April 2, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 32 ORDER re: Motion to reschedule oral argument. [ # 31 ] This court will ordinarily respect requests by counsel, made before oral argument is scheduled, that the court avoid scheduling argument for a particular day or week. Cir. R. 34(b)(3). The parties were advised multiple times that counsels unavailability should be submitted no later than seven days after the filing of the appellees brief, see Cir. R. 34(b)(3), (4), and that once an appeal has been scheduled for oral argument, it is rescheduled only in extraordinary circumstances, see Cir. R. 34(b)(4), (e). Counsel for appellee has not demonstrated extraordinary circumstances. Accordingly, the request is DENIED, and oral argument will proceed as scheduled.
