8th Cir. R. 29A
BRIEFS OF AN AMICUS CURIAE
(a) Filing of Briefs.
The court will prohibit the filing of or strike an amicus brief that
would result in the recusal of a member of the panel to which the case
has been assigned or in the recusal of a judge in regular active service
from a vote on whether to hear or rehear a case en banc.
(b) Ruling on Motions.
When a petition for rehearing en banc is pending, a motion for leave
to file an amicus brief will be referred to the three-judge panel in the
case. The panel may either grant the motion or refer the motion to all
judges in regular active service who are not disqualified. If the motion
is referred, then an order ruling on the motion will also constitute an
order to hear the motion en banc.

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.
