After Valmark Chevrolet did not timely file an appellee's brief, we advised Valmark that it was an appellee in this appeal, it had the choice to file—or not file—an appellee's brief, but if it chose to file a brief, we ordered Valmark to file it by January 16, 2018.
On January 12, 2018, Valmark filed its brief and a motion for extension of time to file the brief. The motion is GRANTED. Valmark's brief is deemed timely filed.
