      The Clerk is directed to calendar these cases for oral argument on the first
appropriate date following the completion of briefing.  The parties will be informed later
of the date of oral argument and the composition of the merits panel.

      All issues and arguments must be raised by appellants in the opening briefs. 
The court ordinarily will not consider issues and arguments raised for the first time in
the reply brief.

      The court reminds the parties that

      In cases involving direct review in this court of administrative actions, the
      brief of the appellant or petitioner must set forth the basis for the claim of
      standing. . . .  When the appellant’s or petitioner’s standing is not
      apparent from the administrative record, the brief must include arguments
      and evidence establishing the claim of standing.  

See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(7).

      To enhance the clarity of their briefs, the parties are urged to limit the use of
abbreviations, including acronyms.  While acronyms may be used for entities and
statutes with widely recognized initials, briefs should not contain acronyms that are not
widely known.  See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 42
(2021); Notice Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).

      Parties are strongly encouraged to hand deliver the paper copies of their briefs to
the Clerk’s office on the due date.  Filing by mail may delay the processing of the brief. 
Additionally, counsel are reminded that if filing by mail, they must use a class of mail
that is at least as expeditious as first-class mail.  See Fed. R. App. P. 25(a).  All briefs
and appendices must contain the date that the case is scheduled for oral argument at
the top of the cover.  See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(8).
