On April 12, 2001, Disciplinary Counsel filed a motion for leave to file an amicus brief in support of respondent. Whereas, the time for filing an amicus brief in support of respondent has passed, and S.Ct.Prac.R. XIV(1)(C) prohibits motions to waive the filing deadline,

IT IS ORDERED by the court, sua sponte, that the motion for leave to file an amicus brief in support of respondent be, and hereby is, stricken.
