Narrative Opinion Summary

In an interlocutory appeal, the appellee seeks a 20-day extension to file their brief, moving the deadline from January 30, 2018, to February 20, 2018. This request arises from the necessity of incorporating a supplemental record following a recent trial court hearing that amended the receivership order, alongside competing obligations, including an emergency matter and a brief due in another case. This is the appellee's first request for an extension. Although the appellant's counsel consents to a 10-day extension, they oppose the full 20-day extension, arguing that the request should be limited. The appellee assures the court that the extension is sought not for delay but to ensure comprehensive justice. Procedurally, the request complies with the requirements, including a certificate of conference and service, confirming notification and delivery of the motion to the opposing counsel. The court's decision on the extension request will affect the timeline for the appellee's submission, impacting the subsequent appellate proceedings.
