Trial Court No. 2014PA02489
Honorable Stephani A. Walsh, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal from a trial court's order terminating appellants' parental rights. Appellants' brief was due July 14, 2016. On that date, appellants filed a motion to extend time to file the brief, asking for an additional four days in which to file the brief, i.e., to July 18, 2016. However, the brief was not filed by July 18, 2016. Accordingly, this court denied as moot appellants' requested extension. Appellants then filed a second motion to extend time to file their brief, explaining the failure to file the brief by the date stated in their first motion, and asking for an extension to July 22, 2016 - eight days from the original due date. After review, we granted appellants' second motion to extend time to file appellants' brief and ordered appellants to file their brief on or before July 22, 2016. However, the brief was not filed on July 22, 2016. Instead, on July 25, 2016, appellants filed a third motion to extend time to file their brief, asking for an additional five days in which to file their brief. We reviewed appellants' request and based on our review, we granted appellants' third motion to extend time to file appellants' brief and ordered appellants to file their brief in this court on or before July 27, 2016. The brief was not filed on the 27th, rather it was filed on the 28th. Appellants filed, concomitantly with the brief, a fourth motion for extension of time, asking for an additional day to file the brief. We GRANT the motion and ORDER the brief filed.
