1 Pursuant to Loc.R. 6(A), we have sua sponte assigned this appeal to the accelerated calendar.

2 Appellant filed a 43 page brief in this case, neither requesting nor receiving permission to file a brief in excess of this court's 20-page limit. See Loc.R. 11(A)(3). Our failure to take corrective measures in this particular case should not be viewed as our acquiescence of pro se parties' disregard for local procedural rules.
