27 27 order Order Wed 03/04 9:18 AM
ORDER - The court has considered Music Group's opposition to Public Citizen's motion to participate in this case as an amicus curiae. (ECF No. 26.) The court will continue to accept Public Citizen as an amicus as reflected in the court's order of March 2, 2015. (ECF No. 25 at 1.) Music Group may file a response to Public Citizen's substantive arguments. That response may not exceed 15 pages and is due by March 17, 2015. Music Group has had several opportunities to address the issues that its enforcement action raises: twice on original submission and once on Twitter's motion to correct. The court notes that, in appellate practice, where amicus filings are more common and subject to more explicit rules, parties do not have an automatic right to extend their principal briefs to address an amicus's arguments. See Fed. R. App. P. 29, 32. The court will fully consider Music Group's response. Should it be necessary, the court will deem Music Group to have timely moved for a reconsideration of the corrected order of March 2, 2015. This is a text entry only. No document is associated with this entry. (lblc1S, COURT STAFF)
