Opinion
Case No. 2:10-cv-01706-GMN-PAL.
October 20, 2010
ORDER
This matter is before the court on the parties' failure to file a Certificate as to Interested Parties as required by LR 7.1-1. The Complaint in this matter was filed in state court, and Defendant subsequently removed this matter to federal court on October 1, 2010 (Dkt. #1). The Answer has not yet been filed. LR 7.1-1(a) requires, unless otherwise ordered, that in all cases (except habeas corpus cases) pro se litigants and counsel for private parties shall, upon entering a case, identify in the disclosure statement required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 7.1 all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships or corporations (including parent corporations) which have a direct, pecuniary interest in the outcome of the case. LR 7.1-1(b) further states that if there are no known interested parties, other than those participating in the case, a statement to that effect must be filed. Additionally, LR 7.1-1(c) requires a party to promptly file a supplemental certification upon any change in the information that this rule requires. To date, the parties have failed to comply. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED the parties shall file their Certificate as to Interested Parties, which fully complies with LR 7.1-1 no later than 4:00 p.m., November 1, 2010. Failure to comply may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
Dated this 18th day of October, 2010.
