Case: 12-1600    Document: 39-2     Page: 1   Filed: 09/18/2012

          NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

  Wniteb ~tates 731 F.2d 1348, 1353 (9th Cir. 1984) ("A court of
appeals may permit intervention where none was sought
in district court 'only in an exceptional case for imperative
reasons[.]'" (citation omitted); Spring Constr. Co., Inc. v.
Harris, 614 F.2d 374, 377 n.1 (4th Cir. 1980) ("[M]ost
cases have held that intervention on appeal will be
granted only under exceptional circumstances.").
    Here, we cannot say that standard has been met. We
therefore deny FAC's motion to intervene. FAC, however,
may move to file a brief amicus curiae as set forth below.
Because FAC is not a party to this appeal, we deny its
other motions.
      Accordingly,
      IT Is ORDERED THAT:

       (1) FAC's motions are denied.
     (2) FAC may move for leave to file a brief amicus cu-
riae with the brief attached no later than 14 days after
Samsung's brief is filed.
