No. 384, Docket 28171.

Argued June 5, 1963.

Decided June 7, 1963.

Martin R. Pollner, Asst. U. S. Atty., E. D. N. Y., Brooklyn, N. Y. (Joseph P. Hoey, U. S. Atty., Brooklyn, N. Y., and Alvin L. Gottlieb and Joanne S. Sisk, Attys., Dept, of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D. C., on the brief), for plaintiff-appellee.

Before LUMBARD, Chief Judge, CLARK, Circuit Judge, and ZAVATT, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

The appellants attack an order of Judge Bruchhausen enjoining them, pursuant to § 302(a) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 332 (a), from shipping in interstate commerce a drug containing phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride. The labeling of the drug suggested that its ingredient is adequate and effective in weight reduction and appetite control. But these representations were found to be false and misleading under § 502(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(a), by Judge Meaney, D.C.N.J., in a seizure suit between the same parties in the case before us, which is the action for an injunction, United States v. 60 28-Capsule Bottles, more or less, etc., D.C.N.J., 211 F.Supp. 207. Judge Bruchhausen held that Judge Meaney’s determination was *res judicata*on the “false and misleading” issue and granted the government’s motion for an injunction.

*818We think Judge Bruchhausen was entitled to rely on Judge Meaney’s findings, and we affirm his order. Since the district court’s order expressly provides that the court shall retain jurisdiction “for the purpose of enforcing or modifying” its decree, the parties will be able to make any motions they deem fit in the light of the outcome of the appeal from Judge Meaney’s decision taken to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Affirmed.
§ 21.7073 Entitlement for some individuals who establish eligibility during the open period or who establish eligibility before involuntary separation.

( ii ) The number of months the veteran has served on continuous active duty after June 30, 1985. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3013(c))
( b ) *Individuals who establish eligibility following involuntary separation.* ( 1 ) The provisions of this paragraph apply to a veteran who establishes eligibility by meeting the provisions of § 21.7045 of this part. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3018A)
( 2 ) A veteran described in paragraph (b)(1) of this section is entitled to a number of months of basic educational assistance (or equivalent thereof in part-time basic educational assistance) equal to the lesser of— ( i ) 36 months, or

§ 18b.17 Amici curiae. ( a ) Any interested person or organization may file a petition to participate in a proceeding as an amicus curiae. Such petition shall be filed prior to the prehearing conference, or if none is held, before the commencement of the hearing, unless the petitioner shows good cause for filing the petition later. The presiding officer may grant the petition if the officer finds that the petitioner has a legitimate interest in the proceedings, that such participation will not unduly delay the outcome, and may contribute materially to the proper disposition thereof. An amicus curiae is not a party and may not introduce evidence at a hearing.
( b ) An amicus curiae may submit a statement of position to the presiding officer prior to the beginning of a hearing, and shall serve a copy on each party. The amicus curiae may submit a brief on each occasion a decision is to be made or a prior decision is subject to review. The brief shall be filed and served on each party within the time limits applicable to the party whose position the amicus curiae deems to support; or if the amicus curiae does not deem to support the position of any party, within the longest time limit applicable to any party at that particular stage of the proceedings.
( c ) When all parties have completed their initial examination of a witness, any amicus curiae may request the presiding officer to propound specific questions to the witness. The presiding officer, in the officer's discretion, may grant any such request if the officer believes the proposed additional testimony may assist materially in elucidating factual matters at issue between the parties and will not expand the issues.

Trial Court No. 2021CI16821

Honorable Martha B. Tanner, Judge Presiding

O R D E R

On December 16, 2021, this court received appellant’s brief. The brief violates the Texas 

Rules of Appellate Procedure in that it:

1. does not provide a complete list of all parties and counsel, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(a);

2. does not contain a table of contents, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(b);

3. does not contain an index of authorities, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(c);

4. does not contain a statement of the case, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(d);

5. does not contain issues presented, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(f);

6. does not contain a statement of facts, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g);

7. does not contain any citations to the record, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(g), (i);

8. does not contain a summary of the argument, see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(h);

9. does not contain clear and concise argument with citations to legal authority, see TEX.

R. APP. P. 38.1(i);

10. does not contain a short conclusion clearly stating the nature of the relief sought, 

see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(j);

11. does not contain an appendix including the necessary contents required by the Rules, 

see TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1(k);

12. does not comply with the form requirements for briefs, see TEX. R. APP. P. 9.4; and

13. does not certify proof of service, see TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(d)–(e).
It is therefore ORDERED that the brief filed by the appellant is STRICKEN from our 

record. It is FURTHER ORDERED that appellant file an amended brief in compliance with the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure no later than January 19, 2022 or this appeal will be 

dismissed for want of prosecution. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.9, 42.3.
