IN THE MATTER OF 1-800 CONTACTS, INC.
Docket No. 9372. Order, November 16, 2017 Order granting a Joint Motion to extend the deadlines for the parties to file their respective appellate briefs.
ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES FOR FILING APPEAL, ANSWERING, AND REPLY BRIEFS On November 6, 2017, Complaint Counsel and Respondent in this matter filed a Joint Motion to extend the deadlines for the parties to file their respective appellate briefs. Under the Joint Motion’s proposed schedule, Respondent would file its Appeal Brief on or before December 6, 2017; Complaint Counsel would file its Answering Brief on or before January 24, 2018; and Respondent would file its Reply Brief on or before February 9, 2018. The parties request these extensions “in order to prevent cancellation of holiday travel plans and to ensure that [they] have sufficient time to provide helpful, yet thorough, briefs in this case.” This small delay in the schedule will accommodate counsels’ schedules and provide a modicum of additional time for the preparation of briefs.
In light of the foregoing and pursuant to Commission Rule 4.3(b), 16 C.F.R. § 4.3(b), we find there is good cause to grant the parties’ joint request to extend the deadlines for the filing of their respective appeals briefs. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Respondent must file its Appeal Brief on or before December 6, 2017, and if Respondent files its Appeal Brief by that date, its appeal from the Initial Decision will be treated as having been perfected in accordance with Commission Rule 3.52(b)(2);
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Complaint Counsel must file its Answering Brief on or before January 24, 2018; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT Respondent must file its Reply Brief on or before February 9, 2018. VOLUME 164 Interlocutory Orders, Etc.
