         ORDERED that this appeal be expedited. The following briefing schedule will
apply:

       Appellant should raise all issues and arguments in the opening brief. The court

statutes with widely recognized initials, briefs should not contain acronyms that are not
widely known. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 43
(2021); Notice Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).

        Parties are strongly encouraged to hand deliver the paper copies of their briefs to
the Clerk’s office on the date due. Filing by mail may delay the processing of the brief.
Additionally, counsel are reminded that if filing by mail, they must use a class of mail
that is at least as expeditious as first-class mail. See Fed. R. App. P. 25(a). All briefs
and appendices must contain the date that the case is scheduled for oral argument at
the top of the cover. See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(8).
