JASON ROWELL

Argument for Reconsideration/Reinstatement
__________________________________________________________________
This appeal has been untidy. However, the confusion that caused this appeal
to be dismissed was a simple calendaring error that occurred only because counsel
read the message on his cellular telephone while he was outside of his office.
Further, the untidy aspects of the appeal have been resolved. Should this Court
reinstate the appeal, then the case can proceed to briefing expeditiously.
Counsel for Jason Rowell again suggests that the proper remedy is a
sanction on counsel rather than an involuntary dismissal of this appeal.
Respectfully submitted,
