Klippenstein ) on his own behalf (Applicant) Applicant ) ) S. D. Boyd - and - ) for the Respondent ) ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MANITOBA ) ) Chambers motion heard and (Respondent) Respondent ) Decision pronounced: ) February 2, 2012 - and - ) ) ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA ) ) (Respondent) ) CHARTIER J.A. 1 The self-represented applicant has appealed from a decision of a Court of Queen’s Bench judge.

On December 20, 2011, a notice of filing timelines was sent to the applicant advising him that his appeal book and factum had to be filed within 45 days - by February 3, 2012. When he attempted to file his appeal book on January 23, 2012, he was again advised that his factum had to be filed by the February 3rd date. 2 The applicant now moves to extend the time to enable him to file his factum. He informs me that he thought he had 30 days after the filing of the appeal book to file his factum.

The respondent is not opposed to the request as long as any extension of time is within a relatively short timeframe. 3 In light of the circumstances, I will grant the applicant a two-week extension of time to file his factum, to February 16, 2012. The respondent is not seeking costs for the motion and none will be ordered. The record will now show that the applicant is aware of the filing timelines in this court and his misunderstanding of our Court of Appeal Rules can no longer serve as the basis for any future requests for extensions.
