Under normal circumstances Appellee’s Counsel’s workload, especially certain activities required at the end of the calendar year, would require Counsel to request additional time to file Appellee’s brief. In addition to that workload, Counsel was diagnosed with pneumonia on December 27, 2016 and was unable to work more than Appellee’s Agreed Motion to Extend Time to File Brief c:\Obilom\20170106 MotXtdBrief.wpd\Page 1 of 3 File No. 242912.01 an hour or so a day for a full week. Counsel’s work capacity is still somewhat limited, and Counsel is unable to complete Appellee’s brief by the date due. III.
