I was wondering why this wasn't discussed. After all, it is deflategate and it wasn't in deflategate.
At any rate, being a poor mechanic, my legal knowledge (mostly gained by personal experiences) is limited and I went to the WWW.com to learn about it.
Read this definition and sit and consider the ramifications. What is in it for Blecker? Don't know.
Who sponsored(so to speak) him? The other parties have to sign off and we know goodell would never do that. So, is he government sponsored? What, exactly, does Blecker have at stake? The way I understand this is the judges decision on this case must affect him for him to become involved. Is he merely filing it as a football fan that thinks(as most of them do) that goodell has defrauded him, as a fan?
May never know, I guess.
"A brief of an amicus curiae may be filed only if accompanied by written consent of all parties, or by leave of court granted on motion or at the request of the court, except that consent or leave shall not be required when the brief is presented by the United States or an officer or agency thereof, or by a State, Territory or Commonwealth. The brief may be conditionally filed with the motion for leave. A motion for leave shall identify the interest of the applicant and shall state the reasons why a brief of an amicus curiae is desirable. Save as all parties otherwise consent, any amicus curiae shall file its brief within the time allowed the party whose position as to affirmance or reversal the amicus brief will support unless the court for cause shown shall grant leave for a later filing, in which event it shall specify within what period an opposing party may answer. A motion of an amicus curiae to participate in the oral argument will be granted only for extraordinary reasons." Rule 29. Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure."
