Civ. P. 7.1, and Fed. R. Crim. P. 12.4, and other considerations which require judges to avoid
conflicts of interest with unnamed corporations, partnerships, limited liability entities, joint ventures,
trust entities, and other entities which may be related to parties to actions in this court, it is
ORDERED that this court’s order (Civ. Misc. No. 00-3047) (Doc. # 2) entered February 16,

1. All parties (including individuals and governmental entities) shall file a statement
identifying all parent companies, subsidiaries, partners, limited liability entity members and
managers, trustees (but not trust beneficiaries), affiliates, or similar entities that could potentially
pose a financial or professional conflict for a judge. The statement shall be filed with a party’s first
appearance. If there are no reportable relationships, that fact shall be certified in the filing.
2. In addition to this requirement which applies to all cases, all bankruptcy appeals shall be
accompanied by a statement identifying the debtor, the members of creditors’ committee, any entity
which is an active participant in the proceedings, and other entities whose stock or equity value may
be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceedings.
3. It is the responsibility of each party to a case to file a supplemental disclosure statement
if, during the pendency of the case, additional reportable entities develop that would have been
reportable initially.
4. This rule shall become effective on the date of filing, and shall apply to all cases pending
in this court after that date.
DONE this 12th day of June, 2007
