ORDER

NW Systems moves for a 15-day extension of time, until November 1, 1990, to file its briefs in these three appeals.

On August 17, 1990, in response to an earlier request for extensions, this court stated:

All motions for extensions of time are granted. The opening briefs, either formal or informal, are due October 15, 1990. No further extensions. [Underlining in original.]

In the instant motions received one day after the briefs were due, NW Systems seeks further extensions. Our rules require that motions seeking extensions be filed at least seven days in advance of the current due date. That was not done here. Further, we note that NW Systems was granted 60-day extensions earlier, especially liberal extensions for a party which is permitted to file informal briefs. Moreover, the reasons offered for further extensions were known to NW Systems on or before October 1, according to its letter of October 15, and the reasons do not justify further extensions. NW Systems was on notice that no further extensions would be granted and we will not grant these extensions.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) NW Systems' motions are denied.

(2) No briefs having been filed, these appeals are dismissed.
