The court will receive but not file proposed amicus briefs submitted in connection with a petition for rehearing. Filing will be considered shortly before the grant or denial of rehearing.

Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29(a)(2)-(4) and (6)-(8) governs amicus filings after the court has granted rehearing en banc. Proposed amicus briefs submitted after the court has granted rehearing en banc may be no longer than one-half the maximum length permitted for any briefs ordered by the court. Filing will be considered shortly before oral argument.
