ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by M. Nardulli):
This matter comes before the Board on petitioners’ Motion for
Leave to File An Oversized Reply Brief Instanter filed October 20,
1989.
Petitioners seek a one-day extension to file its 27-page reply
brief.
Section 101.104(b)
of the Board’s Procedural Rule provides
that
reply
briefs
shall
not
exceed
25
pages
in
length.
This
Section
requires a party
seeking
to
file
an oversized
brief
to
obtain prior approval of the Board.
Although petitioners did not obtain the Board’s approval to
file a brief in excess of the 25-page limit prior to submitting the
brief, the instant circumstances are such that the Board will grant
petitioners’
motion.
Petitioners had only two days to file their
brief
replying to respondent’s
62-page
brief.
Under
this tight
briefing schedule it would have been virtually impossible to obtain
prior Board approval.
Therefore, petitioners’ Motion for Leave to
File An Oversized Brief Instanter is granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I,
Dorothy M.
Gunn,
Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
Board hereby certify that the above Order was adopted gn the
