An interesting #AppellateTwitter dilemma. Junior associate is assigned to argue a case in the Fifth Circuit. But the case is scheduled when they are getting married. There's a partner available.
As OC, oppose? Assume the change is bad for your client. As Court, grant?
In an appeal, with no emergency relief, never oppose; always grant.
I’m frankly struggling to find a good reason to oppose in an appeal—since the Court will resolve the appeal whenever it resolves it, and a few weeks of delay in argument is not really going to mean anything.
