In support thereof, Simpson would show the following: I. Simpson filed a brief in the above-listed matter in this Court on November 9, 2015. On December 9, 2015, the State filed its response. II. The State's brief does not address the issue raised in Simpson brief. Instead, the State again attempts to re-litigate the issue already properly decided by the trial court. Simpson's reply brief both clarifies this for this Court and explains why the State's failure to address the issue raised in Simpson's brief reveals its merit. Accordingly, Appellant prays that this motion for leave of court to file reply brief be granted.
