It is common to speak of an entire species of bacteria as pathogenic when it is identified as the cause of a disease (cf. Koch's postulates). However, the modern view is that pathogenicity depends on the microbial ecosystem as a whole.
If someone files a motion before the date an answer to a complaint is due, the timeline to respond to the motion is: 10 days from the date of service of the motion, OR. the date the defendantâs answer is due (20 days from the date the complaint was served), whichever is later.
Unlike the cert petition and the BIO, which must be filed with the court under strict deadlines, the exact timing of the reply brief varies. A general rule of thumb, though, is that a reply brief should be filed approximately 10 days after filing of the BIO.
