• holding that a request for an extension of time to file an initial brief filed more than two months after the initial brief was due was not sufficiently egregious to merit dismissal
• recognizing the \`principle of law that dismissals for the tardy filing of a brief are highly disfavored'\
• “ ‘[T]he great weight of Florida authority holds that the failure to file an initial brief by the deadline is not sufficient cause to justify dismissal of the appeal, unless there has been fair warning, in advance, that this consequence may flow from a late filing.’ ”
