10th Circuit Grants CNSP Another Extension Due to COVID-19

The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals granted CNSP a one-week deadline extension to Jan. 17 to file an opening appellant's brief in its infrastructure dispute with Santa Fe, said a text-only entry Tuesday (docket 22-2131). The wireless ISP is appealing the U.S. District Court for New Mexico order upholding a local telecom law requiring a revenue-based fee in Santa Fe (see 2211230073). CNSP counsel Richard Glassman’s motion said he needs the extension to make up for the time he spent recovering from COVID-19, for which he tested positive on Dec. 9. The motion for an extension, CNSP’s second this month (see 2212020009), was unopposed, said Glassman.
