    (C) a table of authorities—cases (alphabetically arranged), statutes, and other authorities—with references to the pages of the brief where they are cited;
    (D) a concise statement of the identity of the amicus curiae, its interest in the case, and the source of its authority to file;
    (E) unless the amicus curiae is one listed in the first sentence of Rule 29(a)(2), a statement that indicates whether:
    (i) a party’s counsel authored the brief in whole or in part;
    (ii) a party or a party’s counsel contributed money that was intended to fund preparing or submitting the brief; and
    (iii) a person—other than the amicus curiae, its members, or its counsel—contributed money that was intended to fund preparing or submitting the brief and, if so, identifies each such person;
    (F) an argument, which may be preceded by a summary and which need not include a statement of the applicable standard of review; and
    (G) a certificate of compliance under Rule 32(g)(1), if length is computed using a word or line limit.
