"Appellant notified re failure to timely file opening brief"

I won't make too much out of this since I don't know legal stuff...

Slackers? or Quitters?

I hope its the latter!

So the WTS did not come to court with an opening brief? But there will be an apellation anyhow?

YIKES! Better pull their socks up, pronto!

This doesn't give the impression of a confident appeal (in my layperson's opinion).

Appeal dismissed for failure to file opening brief----So what does this actually signify? does watchtower get another deadline on the 26??. The suspense is killing me.

Calling DNCALL!!!!! Does this mean what it looks like it means?

AnnOMaly

Looks like they have until the 26th.

What I want to know is, is there a penalty for being late?

problemaddict

They have until the 26th, it is doubtful there is a penalty.

They are most likely also reaching out to try to make a settlement, but that is clearly not the route this is going.

DNCall

The only consequence is that they may have blown their right to further extension of time to file.
