Whether the Supreme Court should grant an extension of time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari based on personal family circumstances

No question identified. : for his Mum, Counsel is also seeking amicus support from a noted university professor who has written frequently concerning the subject of the petition. Additionally, Petitioner’s counsel is defending a request for a temporary injunction, prosecuting an action for declaratory judgment concerning insurance coverage, defending an Opposition before the Trademark Trial & Appeal Board, and various other client matters. Counsel has a heavy caseload and requires additional time to prepare the petition for a writ of certiorari. Undersigned counsel contacted Respondent’s counsel and Respondent OPPOSES Petitioner’s Request for a sixty-day extension (or any extension). This request is not made lightly or for purposes of delay, but to allow Counsel to help his Mum in whatever remaining time she has. Conclusion WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully submits that the Court should grant Petitioner a 60-day extension of time from November 16, 2023 until January 15, 2024 to file its Petition for a Writ of Certiorari.
