Case: 13-1180 Document: 41 Page: 1 Filed: 09/05/2013 NOTE: This order is nonprecedential. United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ RAYMOND E. STAUFFER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BROOKS BROTHERS, INC., AND RETAIL BRAND ALLIANCE, INC., Defendants-Appellees, AND UNITED STATES, Intervenor-Appellee. ______________________ 2013-1180 ______________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in No. 08-CV-10369, Judge Sidney H. Stein. ______________________ ON MOTION ______________________ PER CURIAM. ORDER Case: 13-1180 2 Document: 41 STAUFFER Page: 2 Filed: 09/05/2013 v. BROOKS BROTHERS, INC. Raymond E. Stauffer moves for reconsideration of the court s June 27, 2013 order denying his motion for leave to file an oversized principal brief. In the alternative, Mr. Stauffer moves to limit all appellees to a single joint brief not to exceed 14,000 words. Brooks Brothers opposes. Because Mr. Stauffer s motion for reconsideration is untimely, the court need not consider his arguments regarding his principal brief. See Fed. Cir. R. 27(l) ( [A] party seeking review by the court of the action of a single judge . . . must file a motion for reconsideration within 14 days of the entry of the order. ). This court s rules generally allow different appellees represented by different counsel to file their own briefs. See Fed. Cir. R. 28. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: 1) Mr. Stauffer s motion is denied. 2) Mr. Stauffer s brief, not to exceed 30 pages, is due within 14 days of this order. If Mr. Stauffer s brief is not filed by that time, the appeal will be dismissed for failure to prosecute. FOR THE COURT /s/ Daniel O Toole Daniel O Toole Clerk s25
