this Court pursuant to Local Rule 13(g).for leave to file a brief

by their printer that the Brief for the City of Mobile, due to be 

filed with this Court by April 10, 1977, will exceed fifty (50) pages 

of standard typographic printing. This excess, estimated to be 

fifteen (15) pages, is unexpected and inadvertant, inasmuch as it 

considerably exceeds the length of counsel's typewritten manuscript.

this Court grant leave for the filing of said brief in excess of 

the page limitations of F.R.A.P. Rule 28(g).
