(A) Appellant in Default - Failure to File a Brief. If appellant fails to file its brief within the time allowed and no extension of brief date has been granted, the Clerk shall provide notice to all self-represented litigants and all attorneys of record that appellant is in default for failure to file a brief and is required to file a brief within 10 days after receipt of such notice. Appellant's failure to file a brief within the 10-day period subjects the appeal to dismissal. If appellant has sought and obtained an extension of brief date and the court’s order granting the extension subjects the appeal to dismissal without further notice, failure to file the brief within the extended time allowed may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. Under no circumstances shall more than one notice of default be required.

   (B) Appellee in Default. Where the appellant's brief has been properly served and filed, even if not within time, and an appellee's brief has not been filed, appellee will be considered in default and appellant may proceed ex parte. If the appellee is in default, and after notice to the appellee, the case will be placed on the proposed call according to the original brief date of the appellee.

   (C) Hearing Not Delayed. The hearing of a case will not be delayed by default of either party in serving or filing briefs, unless, for good cause shown, it is otherwise ordered.
