Mahoning App. No. 89 C.A. 172. This cause is pending before the court as an appeal from the Court of Appeals for Mahoning County. On July 22, 1997, appellee filed a document titled “Motion for Leave/Motion to Participate in Oral Argument,” in which appellee seeks leave to file an untimely brief. Whereas S.Ct.Prac.R. XIV(1)(C) prohibits untimely filings and motions to waive the rule,

IT IS ORDERED by the court, sua sponte, that appellee’s motion be, and hereby is, stricken.
