ENDORSED ORDER: The defendant's 21 Corporate Disclosure Statement still fails to meet the standards this Court requires to effectively screen cases for potential conflicts. The Court requires parties to disclose "the name of each person, attorney, association of persons, firm, law firm, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, subsidiary, conglomerate, affiliate, member, and any other identifiable legal entity that has, or might have, an interest in the outcome of this action, including through any ownership however small of a party's shares or stock, as well as all other identifiable legal entities related to any party in the case." See (Doc. 16 ). Specifically, the defendant still fails to identify the members of Williams Rush & Associates, LLC, who necessarily have an interest in the case. The defendant must file a new statement that complies with this order by identifying the membership of Williams Rush & Associates, LLC, by February 18, 2025. Should the defendant fail to comply, a default will be entered without further notice. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 2/12/2025. (SJR) |

ENDORSED ORDER: On January 24, 2025, the Court ordered the defendant to file an amended Corporate Disclosure Statement that conforms to the requirements set out in the 16 Civil Case Order by February 7, 2025. The defendant fails to respond. The defendant is therefore ordered to show cause by February 14, 2025, why the Court should not enter a default against it. Alternatively, the defendant may file an amended Corporate Disclosure Statement by February 14, 2025. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 2/10/2025. (SJR) |
