Over 250 pag es of br iefing has bee n filed in that matter. Also a s to that appea l, counsel must respond to a 13-pag e "Sug g estion of Mootness" filed in Case No. 10-1313 on Septembe r 29, 2011, which is due prior to the oral a rg ument, as undoubtedly the topic of a lleg ed mootness will be an issue on O ctober 11 at ora l arg ument. Counsel further had to finalize and file a response to a motion for summary judgme nt in a state cour t insurance cover ag e ca se ca ptioned Mason v.
