In Lava v. Amurao, a White Plains, New York, case pending before Judge Charles L. Brieant, the defendant has responded to the RIAA's request that the Court not consider the brief submitted by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, arguing that the Court should indeed take the brief into consideration in deciding the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss counterclaims.
In his letter to the Court, Richard A. Altman, the Manhattan lawyer representing Mr. Amurao, pointed out to the Court that the RIAA's objection to the lack of impartiality of the EFF is not a valid legal basis for objecting to an amicus.
