7. The reasons or grounds why an extension is necessar are that my schedule has
not allowed adequate time to prepare Appellant's Brief. Since receipt ofthe Cour's Order dated
March 29,2010, establishing the deadline for Appellant's Brief, my available time to work on
the Briefhas been limited by prior commtments, including several matters before this Cour.
For example, in the last two weeks I have filed a Motion to Dismiss and supporting
memorandum with this Cour in Fazzio v. Mason, Supreme Cour Case No. 36068, on April 16,
2010. I am curently working on a Reply brief to be fied soon in the Wasden v. Idaho State
Board of Land Commissioners matter. In addition to these matters before this Cour, my
schedule over the next few weeks includes several mediations, hearngs and depositions.
8. This appeal wil ultimately decide whether the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
has authority to issue regulations related to the relocation of public utilty lines on public rights-
of-way or whether such issues fall within the exclusive jursdiction of the highway distrcts.
Given the serious natue of this matter, it deseres to be fully briefed with adequate time.
10. Appellant requests a 21 day extension, which wil make May 24,2010 the date on
which Appellant's Brief wil be due.
11. Over the last few days, I have discussed ths request for extension of time with
counsel for Respondents. I am advised that Respondents do not object to ths request for
extension of time.
12. Appellant represents that its Appellant's Brief wil be fied no later than May 24,
2010.
