The court has created two special events to permit interested parties who are not case participants to file motions to intervene or to file an amicus brief. In ECF docketing, select “Motion/Stipulation” from the Event Category and then “motion to file an amicus brief” or “motion to intervene.” You will be required to identify yourself and the party(ies) you represent and attach your motion. The court will review your motion and issue a ruling. If your motion is granted, you will be added as an amicus or intervenor and have filing rights in the appeal. You may then submit the brief, petition for rehearing or other document you wish to file just like other parties in the case.
