The appellant brought a motion for leave to file a reply memorandum, which the respondent opposed.
Under Rule 10(2) of the Court Martial Appeal Court Rules, leave is required because there was no cross-appeal.
The Chief Justice granted the motion, noting that the appellant could not have reasonably anticipated some of the respondent's positions, the respondent would suffer no prejudice (and would gain advance notice of arguments), and the reply would assist the Court.
