The foregoing considered, it is
ORDERED that petitioners shall, on or before June 22, 2022, file with the Court in paper form (not electronic) a Ratification of Petition bearing an original signature (not a photocopy), preferably in blue ink, in which petitioners states, if such be the case, that petitioner has read the petition filed on December 22, 2021, and ratify and affirms the filing of said document. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to attach to the copy of this Order served on petitioners a form which may be used by petitioners for purposes of ratifying the petition.
