This amicus curiae motion creates the unusual situation of a voting member of the New England Fishery Management Council, see Patrick Amicus Motion at 4, Docket No. 68, seeking to file an amicus brief challenging the very fishery management plan that the amicus voted to approve. Id. While CLF does not oppose the Governor’s motion to participate as amicus curiae, CLF does have concerns with respect to several aspects of the motion and its accompanying materials: timeliness, the length the proposed memorandum, the scope of the motion’s argument, and the extra-record and post-record materials it seeks to introduce into this matter.
