However, Appellants' counsel, Joe Alfred Izen, Jr., has been ill since January 11, 2015 with fever and inflammatory symptoms.

Izen became worse and developed an increased fever which went up to 101 degrees on Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Izen has been unable to walk without crutches for the past ten (10) days. 4.
