Whether a tenured university professor may be granted an extension of time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari due to professional academic responsibilities

No question identified. : With regard to service, in my capacity as Coordinator of the Accounting Program in the School of Business, I have been engaged in accounting curriculum development and program assessment as it relates to accreditation. In addition, am a member of the School of Business Promotion and Tenure Committee. Because of these on-going demands of my position as a tenured Professor of Accounting and Coordinator of the Accounting Program in the School of Business at Francis Marion University, I am unable to prepare my Petition for a Writ of Certiorari by the due date of Monday, March 18, 2024. But, I am certain that I can prepare and file my Petition for a Writ of Certiorari on or before Thursday, May 2, 2024 (45 days from Monday, March 18, 2024). This request is made without dilatory intent. I have already employed Cockle Legal Briefs to assist in preparing my Petition.
