12/13/2000Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On September 18, 2000, this court returned, unfiled, a proposed amicus curiae brief submitted in proper person by Stephen George Fandel on behalf of the Brother of the Leaf Church. On September 27, 2000, Mr. Fandel submitted the amicus brief again, along with a letter requesting permission, pursuant to NRAP 29, to file the amicus curiae brief, and permission to allow the church file papers in proper person. fn2[Although neither Mr. Fandel nor the Brother of Leaf Church has been granted permission to file papers in proper person with this court, we have considered the proper person documents submitted to the court.] It appears that the church has a direct interest in this appeal. We note that while an amicus may have some interest in the resolution of an action, an amicus must not assume a partisan position; its role is that of a neutral advisor. We decline to grant Mr. Fandel permission to file an amicus brief on behalf of the Brother of the Leaf Church in this matter. The clerk of this court shall return, unfiled, the proposed amicus curiae brief provisionally received on September 27, 2000. 00-21781
