Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. Kaveh L. Afrasiabi seeks reconsideration of the Court's denial of his motion for leave to file brief as amicus curiae. [ECF No. [233]]. “A motion for reconsideration will be granted only upon a showing of (1) a ‘manifest error of law,’ (2) new evidence, or (3) a misunderstanding or other error ‘not of reasoning but apprehension.’” Corliss v. Cummings, No. 17-cv-10017, 2017 WL 5178787, at *1 (D. Mass. Nov. 8, 2017) (quoting Ruiz Rivera v. Pfizer Pharms., LLC, 521 F.3d 76, 81–82 (1st Cir. 2008)). Afrasiabi fails to show that reconsideration is warranted and the motion, [ECF No. [233]], is DENIED. (CAM)

Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The Court DENIES Kaveh L. Afrasiabi's motion for leave to file brief as amicus curiae. [ECF No. [183]]. Although the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not contain provisions concerning amici appearances, it is well established that "the acceptance of amicus briefs is within the sound discretion of the court." Strasser v. Doorley, 432 F.2d 567, 569 (1st Cir. 1970). That said, "a district court lacking joint consent of the parties should go slow in accepting... an amicus brief unless, as a party, although short of a right to intervene, the amicus has a special interest that justifies [] having a say, or unless the court feels that existing counsel may need supplementing assistance." Id. Given the absence of either condition, the Court, in its discretion, DENIES [ECF No. [183]]. As such, the related motion for a hearing, [ECF No. [231]], is DENIED as moot. (CAM)
