Shortly after the WFlorida State University School of Law commencement exercises in 1987, Dr. Mary Banks Stenson—a Macon, Georgia native who personally lived through segregation in the deep South—delivered a handwritten letter to her daughter that, among other things, reflected how proud she was of her daughter’s accomplishments as an honors graduate and the law school’s first student graduation speaker. The letter concluded with these inspiring and encouraging words: “Who knows, a federal judgeship is not out of the question.” The future would prove that a federal judgeship was certainly not out of the question for Dr. Stenson’s daughter who, in 1997, became U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Scriven.

ORDER This cause is before the Court on Appellants' Unopposed Motion Requesting Enlargement of Time to File Initial Brief (Doc. No. 12), filed May 17, 2012. The Court makes the following observations.

" Sosa v. Airprint Sys., Inc., 133 F.3d 1417, 1418 (11th Cir. 1998). Appellants' Motion does not set forth the correct standard for an extension of time.
