In the United States Court of Federal Claims
Case No. 04-1544L (Filed: April 13, 2007) ***************************************************** THE ELLAMAE PHILLIPS COMPANY, * a Colorado Registered Limited Liability * Partnership, Plaintiff, * * v. * * THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, * Defendant. * * ***************************************************** ORDER
On April 6, 2007, the Court received the second Supplemental Brief of Amicus Curiae Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (the Conservancy) in support of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. This brief is being returned to the Conservancy in accordance with this Court's Order of October 23, 2006, which requested that "If the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy wishes to participate in any manner extending beyond the filing of the proffered brief, it must file a motion explaining the specific benefits to the Court of its proposed additional contribution to the proceedings in this case." Notwithstanding the October 23 Order, a supplemental brief of amicus curiae Rails-to-Trials Conservancy in support of Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment was inadvertently filed by the Clerk's office on February 12, 2007. As this case was designated as an electronic case in the Court's case management/electronic case filing (CM/ECF) system on March 29, 2007, the Conservancy must electronically file a motion for leave to file the second Supplemental Brief, with the proposed brief attached to the motion. Pursuant to General Order 42, the attorneys of record must have a CM/ECF account. The Court issues an account login and password only to members of the Court's bar who have passed a certification test.
