        The complete record in this case has been filed. In the interests of justice, we shorten the

We order appellants to file their brief by February 16, 2017. We order appellees’ brief due 20
days after appellants have filed their brief. Appellants’ reply brief, if any, is due 10 days after
appellees have filed their brief. The parties are advised that no extensions of time will be granted
absent a timely motion that (1) demonstrates extraordinary circumstances justifying delay, (2)
advises the court of the efforts counsel has expended in preparing the brief, and (3) provides the
court reasonable assurance that the brief will be completed and filed by the requested extended
deadline.
