Over 250 pages of briefing has been filed in that matter. Also as to that appeal, counsel must respond to a 13-page Suggestion of Mootness filed in Case No. 10-1313 on September 29, 2011, which is due prior to the oral argument, as undoubtedly the topic of alleged mootness will be an issue on October 11 at oral argument.

Counsel further had to finalize and file a response to a motion for summary judgment in a state court insurance coverage case captioned Mason v. Hallowell, Case No. CI 0201007239, pending in Lucas County (Ohio) Court of Common Pleas on October 5. That motion for summary judgment was filed in early August (and the response did get in). Finally, counsel had to research and prepare the late-filed memorandum in opposition to the FENOC and NRC motions to strike in this NRC operating license renewal case, laboring under the incorrect impression that he had until October 6, 2011 as a deadline, for which counsel apologizes.
