App. P. 44, it is the duty of a party who draws into question the constitutionality of any federal or state statute in any proceeding to which the federal or state government is not a party, to give immediate notice in writing to the court of the existence of said question. The clerkshall thereupon certify such fact to the Attorney General of the United States or the appropriate state. The government may thereafter intervene to defend the constitutionality of the federal or state law at issue in the appeal. 28 U.S.C. § 2403; Fed. R. App. P. 44.
