WE OBJECT! say the Appellants through our counsel to the Court when the combined counsel for King Southern Bank (KSB), DF Investment (DFI) & Louisville Metro Board of Zoning Adjustment (BOZA) miss the court-ordered filing deadline by 10 days and certify a new Reply Brief in violation of the Court's opinion and order of last September 16, 2011. "Just a bit late", a reasonable person might think. Back in September 2011, Judge Maze set the sequence of dates for the filing of briefs; it was to end on Jan. 3, 2012 unless extensions were filed in advance of the deadlines. No advance petitions were made; no doctor's note submitted by the slack student requesting to turn in due work late & for full credit. Ah!
Like the Aesop's fable, "The Grasshopper and the Ant", we the Appellants & our counsel, ant-like, cracked our backs and chafed our rumps from long hours sitting, arguing, and revising to get our homework done over the holidays just to meet the early new year court-ordered deadline of Jan. 3. The opposition Appellees and their counsel (fiddling and dancing?) missed the due-date that was supposed to end the schedule of filings and missed the procedural requirements for requesting special exemption from the court-ordered filing schedule. We, the Appellants, have tried mightily to be disciplined and play by the rules. The opposition wants new rules.
