Opinion
Case No. 2:10-cv-01846-KJD-PAL.
November 8, 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 was subsequently removed to federal court (Dkt. #1) October 21, 2010. No Answer has been filed, but a motion to dismiss is pending. 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 that 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 19, 2010. Failure to comply may result in the issuance of an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
Dated this 5th day of November, 2010.
