25-0158/MC. United States, Appellant. v. Danielle E. Deremer, Appellee. CCA

Curiae (Victim's Counsel Programs), we note that under C.A.A.F. R. 30(d),

Appellant's motion for extension of time to file a reply. Accordingly, it is
ordered that Appellant's motion for extension of time to file a reply brief is
