Second, and last, the following amusing and instructive footnote from Judge Andrews' opinion on post-trial briefing in the long running case of Acceleration Bar LLC v. Amazon Web Servs., Inc., C.A. No. 22-904-RGA (D. Del. Mar. 26, 2026):

Defendant's Opening Brief of twenty-five pages (D.I. 332) raises at least seventeen arguments (D.I. 360). When I noticed a general absence of any attempt to explain how Defendant had preserved most of these arguments, I directed Defendant to submit a letter explaining that. (Id.). In response, I got a fourteen-page single-spaced letter. (D.I. 363). I estimate the single-spaced letter is the equivalent of a second twenty-five page brief. Thus, Defendant's dereliction in the Opening Brief resulted in its effectively getting double the allotted number of pages. I regret that.

Id.at 2.

Bam, post done.
