See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The motion (Docket Entry No. 4) to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is therefore unnecessary. Counsel for appellant, Leonard Randolph Berman, filed the notice of appeal and continues to represent appellant in this appeal. The motion (Docket Entry No. 3) for appointment of counsel is therefore unnecessary. Appellant may file a renewed motion for appointment of counsel if counsel Berman withdraws. The opening brief is due September 2, 2026. The answering brief is due October 2, 2026. The optional reply brief is due 21 days after the answering brief is served.
