DEL. LR 72.1. IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED at the request of the parties that the following briefing schedule be entered: appellant’s opening brief due three weeks after an order approving a briefing schedule is entered; appellees’ responsive brief due three weeks after the opening brief is filed and appellant’s reply brief due within seven days after the responsive brief is filed.
