Does he have a Green I-94W or a White I-94 ?
If a green one, he's out of luck - he must go back before the date on
the card. If it's a white one, file form I-539 with the INS and include
the right fee. He'll not get the approval or rejection back before he
leaves, but that's OK.

Extension of Stay
My brother is staying with me for 3 months. His I-94 says he has to leave the USA by January 2nd. Is there any way for him to get a two week extension?

If he overstays an I-94W Visa Waiver, he must in the future apply for a
visa to enter the US. They will want to know why he is applying for a
visa. When told that he was an I-94W overstay, he will, in all
probability NOT be issued a visa, and he can't use the waiver process
again.
He won't get a multiple year ban until he overstays for 183 days or
more, but it might as well be, since to get a visa they will want all
manner of proof that he will return home including proof that he has a
residence abroad he has no intention of abandoning.
This is a condition of the Visa Waiver program. The ONLY way around
this was to marry a US citizen!

If caught, he could face a multiple year ban from the US.
