 COMES NOW APPELLANT JOHN P. CARROLL, pursuant Florida Rules of

Appellate Procedure 9.320 and states:

1. Appellant understands rule 9.320 to mandate any request for oral

argument to be made prior to a deadline which is tied to the final brief of the party.

2. Appellant transmitted his Initial Brief to Appellees electronically on

February 16, 2010.

3. Appellant delivered his hard copy of the Initial Brief to Appellees and the

1st DCA no later than February 19, 2010.

4. Appellees Answer Brief was due no later than March 11, 2010.

5. The Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure are unclear on the oral

argument deadline in a case where none of the Appellees submit an Answer Brief.

6. It is presently unclear whether or not oral argument will be helpful in

reaching an accurate decision in this case.

7. In order to preserve Appellant’s right to oral argument in this case,

Appellant respectfully requests the court schedule 20 minutes of oral argument for

Appellant, only if the court deems it necessary to properly decide this appeal.
 Respectfully submitted,
