In re Purdue Pharma, L.P. , No. 24-CV-7042 (CM) ;
Opening Brief Deadline 3-Day Extension Request

Dear Judge McMahon:
I have been informed by Appellees' counsel that I misinterpreted their degree of consent
to the letter-motion for an extens ion I filed earlier this afternoon . I had informed debtors counsel
that I expected to seek on ly a 1-2 day extension of Maryland 's reply, and interpreted counsel 's
(Mr. Vonnegut) repl y "[t] hat's fi ne" in context as indicating a lack of concern with the timing of
our repl y.
After filing the letter-motion, however, I received an email from another member of
Appellees ' legal team (Mr. Shinbot) indicating that the consent is only for an extension of the reply
until Monday, November 10, 2024, unless the hearing is rescheduled until at least November 18,
2024.
In light of this development, again, if it does not inconvenience the Court, the State of
Maryland requests that it be permitted to file any reply brief on Sunday, November I 0, 2024. The
revised schedule would become:

200 Saint Paul Place ♦ Baltimore, Maryland, 2 1202-202 1
Office umber [phone] ♦ Main Office Toll Free (888) 743 -0023
Consumer Complaints and Inquiries (4 10) 528-8662 ♦ Health Advocacy Un it/Bil lin g Complaints [phone]
Iden tity The~ Uni t (4 10) 576-6491 ♦ Home Builders Division Toll Free [phone] ♦ Telephon e for Deaf(4l0) 576-6372
