include the names, mailing addresses, telephone, fax numbers, and email addresses (if

Curiae shall serve copies of the revised brief on all parties of record; and
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no changes, additions, or deletions other than
those specified in this Order may be made to the brief as originally filed.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to the Amici Curiae and
to all parties of record.
