who have withheld consent and state the nature of the mov
ants interest. Such a motion is not favored.
3. (a) An amicus curiae brief in a case before the Court
for oral argument may be led if accompanied by the written
consent of all parties, or if the Court grants leave to le
under subparagraph 3(b) of this Rule. The brief shall be
submitted within 7 days after the brief for the party sup
ported is led, or if in support of neither party, within 7 days
after the time allowed for ling the petitioners or appellants
brief. Motions to extend the time for ling an amicus cu
riae brief will not be entertained. The 10-day notice re
quirement of subparagraph 2(a) of this Rule does not apply
to an amicus curiae brief in a case before the Court for oral
argument. An electronic version of every amicus curiae
brief in a case before the Court for oral argument shall be
transmitted to the Clerk of Court and to counsel for the par
ties at the time the brief is led in accordance with guide
lines established by the Clerk. The electronic transmission
requirement is in addition to the requirement that booklet
format briefs be timely led. The amicus curiae brief shall
specify whether consent was granted, and its cover shall
identify the party supported or indicate whether it suggests
afrmance or reversal. The Clerk will not le a reply brief
for an amicus curiae, or a brief for an amicus curiae in
support of, or in opposition to, a petition for rehearing.
Only one signatory to an amicus curiae brief led jointly by
more than one amicus curiae must obtain consent of the
parties to le that brief. A petitioner or respondent may
submit to the Clerk a letter granting blanket consent to ami
cus curiae briefs, stating that the party consents to the ling
of amicus curiae briefs in support of either or of neither
party. The Clerk will note all notices of blanket consent on
the docket.
(b) When a party to a case before the Court for oral argu
ment has withheld consent, a motion for leave to le an ami
cus curiae brief may be presented to the Court. The mo
tion, prepared as required by Rule 33.1 and as one document
with the brief sought to be led, shall be submitted within
Page 60 of 89
52
the time allowed for ling an amicus curiae brief, and shall
indicate the party or parties who have withheld consent and
state the nature of the movants interest.
4. No motion for leave to le an amicus curiae brief is
necessary if the brief is presented on behalf of the United
States by the Solicitor General; on behalf of any agency of
the United States allowed by law to appear before this Court
when submitted by the agencys authorized legal representa
tive; on behalf of a State, Commonwealth, Territory, or Pos
session when submitted by its Attorney General; or on behalf
of a city, county, town, or similar entity when submitted by
its authorized law ofcer.
5. A brief or motion led under this Rule shall be accom
panied by proof of service as required by Rule 29, and shall
comply with the applicable provisions of Rules 21, 24, and
33.1 (except that it sufces to set out in the brief the interest
of the amicus curiae, the summary of the argument, the ar
gument, and the conclusion). A motion for leave to le may
not exceed 1,500 words. A party served with the motion
may le an objection thereto, stating concisely the reasons
for withholding consent; the objection shall be prepared as
required by Rule 33.2.
6. Except for briefs presented on behalf of amicus curiae
listed in Rule 37.4, a brief led under this Rule shall indicate
whether counsel for a party authored the brief in whole or in
part and whether such counsel or a party made a monetary
contribution intended to fund the preparation or submission
of the brief, and shall identify every person other than the
amicus curiae, its members, or its counsel, who made such
a monetary contribution. The disclosure shall be made in
the rst footnote on the rst page of text.
