En Banc Amicus Briefs
The United States or its officer or agency or a state may
file an en banc amicus brief without the consent of the parties or leave of court. Any other amicus
curiae must request leave of court by filing a motion accompanied by the proposed brief in
conformance with FRAP 29(a)(3) through (a)(5) and the corresponding circuit rules. An amicus
curiae must file its en banc brief, accompanied by a motion for filing when necessary, no later than
the due date of the principal en banc brief of the party being supported. An amicus curiae that does
not support either party must file its en banc brief, accompanied by a motion for filing when
necessary, no later than the due date of the appellant’s or petitioner’s principal en banc brief. An
amicus curiae must also comply with 11th Cir. R. 40-8.

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
