- The applicant has just brought to our attention its receipt of a motion by Joel Jaffer for " leave to appear herein as amicus curiae, and to be served with all notices and pleadings herein whatsoever pursuant to 10 CFR 2.715.'

Although noting that there was no indication that che motion had been properly filed, out of an abundance of caution the applicant elected to apprise us of its opposition to the relief sought by Mr. Jaffer.

Because, as the applicant Curmised, it has not been filed with us,the motion need not be now considered.

Mr. Jaffer is free, of course, to remedy that apparent oversight.

Before doing~

so, however, he may wish to consult Section 2.715(d) of the Com-mission's Rules of Practice, 10 CFR 2.715(d).

Insofar as is here relevant, that Section states that, "[except] as otherwise provided by * *

  • the Appeal Board"', an amicus curiae brief "must be filed within the time allowed to the party whose position the trief will support".

As above.noted, Mr. Oncavage's briefs are already on file.

If, as the applicant believes to be the case, 4

Mr. Jaffer proposes to support Mr.- Oncavage's position, any re-quest at this time for leave to participate amicus curiae would be untimely.

As such, the request would necessarily be denied in the, absence of the most compelling showing that it was not possible for Mr. Jaffer to have acted at a much earlier date.
