Second Circuit -- RLI Insurance Co. v. JDJ Marine, Inc.

No extension of time to file brief absent (new) extraordinary circumstances where parties selected return date for answer, and prior extension was given, even though parties consented to the extension.

No reinstatement of case where filing deadline has passed even though court denied motion for extension of time to file after the deadline to file.

(Circuit-specific rules, not so much FRCP.)
