Wouldn't this turn on how much discretion a court has to grant late responses? If there's enough leeway in the rules, I could easily see the morons up at 10th Appeals saying "meh, it was just barely late, and he's pro se, that's close enough within their discretion to manage the case".I imagine they've been sweating and shitting themselves for the past two months about whether to grant it or not. "His response wasn't that late, but if we grant it the Defense will object and it might come up before the 10th Circuit, but if we don't grant it this idiot will object and make us go through the whole thing again multiple times,
Of course if they keep doing it, it prejudices the other side, and Hardin has a damn good claim for that. But that's probably a larger and less clear standard that he'd have to argue.
