Stone has read the petition filed on August 30, 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 petitioner Robet M. Stone for purposes of ratifying the petition.
